🔥Resource Review: Aging in Place

If you’re helping someone Age in Place, or planning your own future, you need to know about these #AginginPlace resources!


➡️Highlights from the Golden Futures Senior Expo

➡️Direct links to organizations and programs you can look for in your own community.


Mobility Innovations

Paul from Moving Life demonstrated the compact and foldable ATTO mobility scooter, and I even got to test-drive their new Explorer power wheelchair. It’s lightweight, nimble, and easy to transport. These kinds of tools can extend independence for years.


Understanding Dementia: 10 Warning Signs

Jay, a volunteer with the Alzheimer’s Association, gave a thoughtful talk on how to recognize early signs of dementia.“Dementia scares all of us,” he said.


What to do:

Find Your Local Aging Services

Julianna from the Ventura County Area Agency on Aging (VCAAA) was there representing their Fall Prevention Program and sharing info about their free local aging services directory.

📍Wherever you live, you can find your local Area Agency on Aging

Call: 800-677-1116


Real Estate Planning for Seniors

I also stopped by the Complete Real Estate Group table. Their services for older adults are all about navigating home transitions, like downsizing, selling, or making modifications to stay in place.


🚫 Room for Improvement: Where Were the Grab Bars?

Bath Fitters was promoting one-day walk-in showers, but had no grab bars in their display. At a senior expo? That’s a missed opportunity.


Grab bars need to be standard safety & style features.

Next time I might bring my own:
