Especially if you've lived in it for many years, your home can offer a sense of comfort and security. After all, it's the place where you may have raised a family, planted gardens and hosted cherished neighbors and friends.

If you're one of them, AARP's Home Fit Guide can help you do just that with comprehensive advice, tips, and checklists for getting your home in top form for comfort, safety and long-term livability.
