AARP Home Fit Guide
The AARP HomeFit Guide was created to help people live safely and comfortably in their home by enabling where they live to be a “lifelong home,” suitable for themselves and others in their household, no matter a person’s age or life stage. This Guide can help individuals and families make their current or future residence age-friendly. In addition, elected officials, policymakers and local leaders can learn about and advocate for the types of housing features and designs that communities need so their residents can live safely and comfortably — and thrive.
