This is a program to promote accessibility related improvements to the homes of seniors.  These types of home improvements can offer many older persons the key to remaining in their home and maintaining their independence. This program is being undertaken by a partnership of the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development in partnership with the Maryland Department of Aging.

The Hawaiian Humane Society has received a $10,000 grant to fund an adoption service that pairs senior citizens with mature pets in mutually rewarding relationships. The newly created program is called Seniors for Seniors and is funded by the ASPCA/Iams Lifelong Friends program. Lifelong Friends is adminstered by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) as a Partners in Caring (PIC) grant, a unique partnership between the ASPCA and the sheltering community.

The intent is to prepare homeowners ages 55+ for aging in place. Since many aging adults prefer to remain in their own homes rather than to move in with a relative or to another facility, this program enables them to make needed accessibility improvements ? widening doorways to accommodate a wheelchair, adding grab bars in the bathroom, maybe even adding a shower to a first level half bath to eliminate climbing stairs.

Both are suitable, but the pros and cons depend on your preferences and needs. In Casa Tre Archi the bathroom is on the same floor as the bedrooms - some seniors say that this is important for them. Casa Tre Archi is on the second floor, so there are more steps to climb than there are in Casa Battello whose two floors are separated by a shorter flight of steps. Casa Tre Archi has permanent air-conditioning installed in both bedrooms.

Although all students may apply for grants, you should be aware that awards are not normally given to seniors whose travel will take place after graduation. The reasoning behind this is simple: the College invests money in grant recipients, and the return on that investment is the contribution to internationalism on campus that the grant recipient makes when he/she returns. Any senior's application should address the issue of how the project will benefit the Davidson community.
