Why it Matters?
Door County has one of Wisconsin’s oldest populations, and most residents want to remain in their homes for as long as possible. Yet many homes were never designed with aging in mind. Home For Life Door County helps bridge the gap between wanting to stay home and having the resources to do so safely.
