RESOURCES FOR INDEPENDENT LIVING AT HOME
We have listed here a number of websites that we are sure that you’ll find really, really useful. There’s a lot of very good stuff in them. In particular you will find tips to make the home safer and easier to manage as you (or your parents) age and possible begin to suffer from conditions common to aging.. Also some of the websites list many simple and often inexpensive assitive aids that may not have occurred to you.
We have prepared this list as a service to our clients and to visitors to Magen’s website. Magen does not sell or promote or endorse any of the products listed in the websites below. We check the web often to update our list, so please check in from time to time to see what’s new.
