Aging with Grace in Your Age-Friendly Home 2020
Aging with Grace is an educational forum presented annually by Viva Village. In the fall of 2020, the four virtual sessions addressed practical solutions for better livability in our homes including organization, modifications, safety, and funding. Online presentations from local companies and organizations provided valuable and relevant information. Recordings of these sessions are available below. Viva Village gives a special thanks to our collaborators: Beaverton Library; Washington County Disability, Aging and Veterans Services (DAVS); Beaverton Committee on Aging (BCOA); and Elsie Stuhr Center
