S1E11 - CarFit and Nesterly

11/20/23 • 39 min

While all Area Agencies on Aging in the US share a central mission under the federal Older Americans Act, each agency also provides services unique to their community needs.

Learn from Angie Wise about our work as Ohio’s first Statewide CarFit Coordinator and what we are doing to increase the safety on Ohio’s roadways and from Frances Krumholtz about our home-sharing platform, Nesterly, and our work with older homeowners.
