From Albuquerque to Santa Fe, Thrive at Home Network supports New Mexico families with aging-in-place resources designed for desert living and Southwestern homes. Whether you’re modifying a home in Las Cruces, arranging in-home care in Rio Rancho, or seeking services in Roswell or Farmington, our statewide network connects you with trusted local professionals.
New York offers world-class healthcare access and many active aging communities. However, the state’s weather, dense urban environments, and rural service gaps can create unique challenges for aging in place.
Key considerations include:
Winter safety and heating needs in Upstate New York and rural areas
Older multi-story homes needing accessibility modifications (ramps, elevators, grab bars)
Limited parking and mobility challenges in NYC and metro areas
Gaps in rural aging services in regions like the Adirondacks and western New York
Here are some of our most helpful checklists for those who want to age in place confidently:
Bathroom Safety Checklist
Improve safety in older New York apartments, townhouses, and single-family homes with grab bars, slip-resistant floors, and improved lighting.
Fall Prevention Checklist
Fix steep brownstone steps, icy sidewalks, and narrow hallways, especially important in New York’s older housing stock.
Emergency Preparedness Checklist
Prepare for snowstorms, coastal flooding, hurricanes, and power outages across both urban and rural areas.
Decluttering & Downsizing Checklist
Declutter multi-story homes, apartments, and basements common across New York City, Long Island, and upstate communities.
In-Home Care Checklist
