Kewanee, IL
AARP Community Challenge Grant Year: 2025
Project Category: HomeFit Modifications
Description: Many older adults wanted to stay independent at home but lacked practical guidance and low-cost tools to reduce fall risk. The city hosted two knowledge-sharing events on home safety and simple modifications, pairing demonstrations with free home fit devices and bilingual take-home guides. Staff also connected attendees to local partners for repairs and mobility support. The effort moved people from information to action: eight participants enrolled in and completed a balance class and neighbors exchanged numbers to keep learning together. Attendees expressed gratitude, and the events built confidence, sparked peer support and set up next steps to continue classes and expand assistance.
