Beacon Hill Village, a membership organization that supports older adults to age at home in Boston, is hosting its first annual Aging at Home Resource Fair on Wednesday October 9th, from 3:00p to 5:00p at Suffolk University in the Keches Room of Sargent Hall located at 110 Tremont St. The Fair will be free and open to the public. This Fair is made possible through the generous support of Event Co-Sponsors Always Best Care Senior Services, BAYADA Home Health Care, and My Personal Home Health Care LLC.
The Fair will include vendors and partner organizations representing the areas of home care, health & wellness, care management, home modifications, decluttering, lifelong learning, health insurance counseling, technology, and volunteer services.
“The goal of the Resource Fair is to make information and resources accessible and available to older adults in Boston who wish to remain at home as they age. Navigating the journey of aging can be overwhelming and confusing. Providing information in a single place for older adults is one way to help them anticipate the programs and services they may want or need down the road,” said Beacon Hill Village Executive Director Melissa Interess.
According to Interess, the purpose of the Aging at Home Resource Fair also aligns with the organizational goals of Sponsor agencies. “At BAYADA, we’re on a mission to help people have a safe home life with comfort, independence, and dignity. Participating in the Resource Fair fits directly into our goals as an organization, bringing resources to the communities we serve so they are prepared to age how and where they want to,” said Kirsten Kilburn, Director at BAYADA.
Laurie Gaines, Director of Care Coordination at Always Best Care Senior Services, shared “Aging at home is a wish we often hear from older adults. We are so appreciative for the opportunity to collaborate with Beacon Hill Village to help support this wish.”
“We are excited to sponsor this event because it aligns with our mission to support community well-being and to build valuable relationships,” added Shekeria Beale, Director of My Personal Home Health Care LLC.
