National 'Aging in Place Week' Events Slated in 20 Cities

The National Reverse Mortgage Lender’s Association (NRMLA) and the Aging In Place Council — which includes the NAHB Remodelors™ Council, NAHB Seniors Housing Council and NAHB Research Center — have coordinated activities in more then 20 cities nationwide to commemorate National Aging In Place Week from Nov. 7-13.

The week is being organized to:

  • Build lasting coalitions of allied business professionals in communities across the U.S. to assist home owners with pursuing their long-term care needs
  • Organize educational activities to highlight programs and support services — including healthcare, transportation and housing — that enable seniors to successfully age in place

National Aging In Place satellite events will also demonstrate the collaboration at work among senior service providers.
