Home Safety Program

Lisa Brinkmann, a gerontologist and home safety specialist, will lead a discussion of ways to increase our home safety and security, to help us all stay in our own homes as long as possible as we grow older.   No one wants to spend time away from home at the doctor’s office or in a hospital recovering from a nasty fall.  Taking up the throw rugs and installing strategically placed grab bars is but a first step.  There is more! 

Homestead Valley Village (a part of Marin Village) wants to help raise awareness of what can be done to make your comfortable home even safer - or your parents home.  Join us for tea and cookies, as well as a chance to ask questions and share ideas about how to live safely and well. 

We’ve removed the ability to reply as we work to make improvements. Learn more here
