• Use housing options incorporating universal design
• Make some minor low-cost changes for better safety and accessibility, such as switching the door handles in your house from knobs to levers, adding lighting to walkways and entries, installing simple safety features such as grab bars
• Learn more about the co-housing options such as the HomeShare program
• Add lighting to your entryway
