In communities like Hartford, Stamford, Bridgeport, and New Haven, families across Connecticut turn to us for aging-in-place support. Whether you’re updating a family home in Waterbury or coordinating care in Norwalk or Danbury, our statewide network helps seniors remain safe and independent where they feel most at home.
Connecticut’s strong healthcare systems and proximity to major services benefit seniors, but it also presents specific aging challenges.
Key considerations include:
Harsh winters, requiring home safety improvements like anti-slip surfaces and reliable heating
High housing costs in some areas, complicating downsizing efforts
Older homes needing accessibility updates (especially in historic districts)
Limited transportation access outside urban centers
Here are some of our most helpful checklists for those who want to age in place confidently:
Bathroom Safety Checklist
Update bathrooms in historic or older homes with grab bars and slip-resistant surfaces, essential for Connecticut’s aging housing stock.
Fall Prevention Checklist
Spot and repair trip hazards in narrow stairwells, uneven floors, and icy outdoor steps.
Emergency Preparedness Checklist
Be ready for hurricanes, coastal storms, and winter weather disruptions.
Decluttering & Downsizing Checklist
Declutter multi-story homes, basements, and attics common in New England architecture.
In-Home Care Checklist
Evaluate care needs whether you live in Hartford, Stamford, or a small Connecticut town.
