Help older adults age safely in place Marin County should offer free, individualized assessments for older adults who want to remain in their homes, along with practical support to address the needs identified. Assessments could cover home safety, mobility and fall risk, daily living needs, access to medical care, and caregiver support. The program should go beyond providing a list of referrals. Depending on a person’s needs and resources, assistance could include help arranging home modifications, transportation, in-home services, and connection to community programs. The goal would be to help older residents preserve their independence and quality of life, while supporting family caregivers and addressing problems before they become crises.
