COA sponsors home modification seminar
January 22, 2009 3:20 PM
MIDDLEBORO — “There’s No Place Like Home,” a program on home modifications for the elderly and disabled sponsored by Golden Living Center-Oak Hill and the Middleboro Council on Aging will be held at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 29 at the Leonard E. Simmons Multi-service Center (COA), 558 Plymouth St.
The Home Modification Program, a program of the Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission in collaboration with the Community Economic Development Assistance Corporation, provides low and no-interest loans for modifications to allow people to remain in their homes and live independently in their communities. The loans can be used to install ramps, lifts or grab bars and to widen doorways for elders, adults with disabilities, and families with children with disabilities. The program is also designed for landlords who rent to those with disabilities.
Snow date is Jan. 29. Those planning to attend should call the COA at 508-946-2490 to reserve a seat or check on the date in case of snow. Refreshments will be provided.
