LENAWEE CO. — Aging in place is getting safer in Lenawee County thanks to local programs, volunteers, and resources that help older adults maintain their homes and independence.
As tasks like lawn care, repairs, and weatherproofing become harder with age, many seniors struggle to keep up, especially those on fixed incomes.
Unattended maintenance can lead to falls, unsafe conditions, or isolation, but Lenawee’s strong support network is helping address those risks.
Local agencies offer help with critical repairs, ramps, plumbing, and more. Seniors and caregivers can call 2-1-1 to find out what services they qualify for.
Volunteers also play a key role. Through Volunteer Lenawee, individuals and groups assist with yardwork and home upkeep, offering dignity and connection along the way.
A simple act — like checking in on a neighbor — can make a life-changing difference.
