Florence, KY

AARP Community Challenge Grant Year: 2025

Project Category: HomeFit Modifications

Description: Many older adults lacked clear information about home safety and falls prevention, making it harder for them to stay independent. NKADD partnered with SeniorSafe Home Solutions to offer classes that gave adults age 50 and over practical steps they could use right away. The organization also strengthened its resource guide by expanding the HomeFit section and preparing 9,000 updated copies for distribution, with broadcast segments planned to share safety tips more widely. One attendee said simple changes like rug tape and non slip strips "made a world of difference." The project set up long-term access to safety resources and opened new pathways for outreach through future sessions and referrals.

AARP Community Challenge Grant Year: 2024

Project Category: HomeFit Modifications

Description: Older adults in affordable housing often lacked tools and knowledge to make their homes safe, leaving them vulnerable to accidents and isolation. The project offered workshops on home safety and technology, installed video doorbell cameras and worked with maintenance teams to ensure compliance with housing rules. Residents reported feeling safer and more independent. One mother said the video doorbell gave her peace of mind and allowed her autistic daughter to stay home alone briefly, reducing stress and improving daily life.
