To successfully age in place, our home must be accessible, safe, and well-maintained. Maintenance includes ongoing upkeep (e.g. staining the deck) and capital improvements (e.g. a new roof). Too often seniors defer maintenance on their homes. This causes deterioration and results in loss of equity, meaning less funds to put toward future expenses, like the cost of long-term care. In this workshop you will learn how to create and execute a home maintenance and capital improvement plan, how to select the most qualified/cost-effective contractors, and how to manage maintenance and home improvement projects to successful completion.

The speakers are Kathy Moniello of Forevermore Homes and Brad Lareau of the Certified Home.
