Your Home

Your home should support your safety and independence. Explore resources to help you make your living space more comfortable, accessible, and secure as you age.

Here you will find articles written by DOROT staff members and other solo aging experts, and videos from our Aging Well programs. We are regularly adding new videos and articles to this page, so please visit us regularly!

We also encourage you to sign up for Aging Alone Together, DOROT’s flagship program for adults 60+ who live alone, are aging without available family support, or who seek meaningful connection.
