Stacy, Rebecca and the cakeHomes make living easy for Tennesseans of all ages, abilities
A story on WZTV Fox17 by Cindy Carter focuses on the need for homes that are accessible for Tennesseans of all ages and abilities. Jeanette and Jim Canavan bought a condo in Lebanon that's a certified EasyLiving Home.
AARP is pleased to see builders like Goodall Homes construct houses that allow us to live comfortably and safely as we age. And AARP worked hard on the new law that will restructure the state's long-term care system so that more money is spent on home and community-based care, allowing folks like the Canavans to remain in their condo instead of moving to a nursing home if they need help.
Right now, 98 percent of our federal long-term care money goes toward institutional care, but that will change as the long-term care Choices Act is implemented next year. AARP also is working with federal lawmakers on providing more money to states that are focusing their resources on home and community-based care.
This is awesome! What a great benefit to the community that offers accessability to homes for all to visit
