Do Good Door County Hosts Free HomeFit Event in October Helping Residents Age in Place Safely

October 9, 2025 by Laurel Ciohon

Sturgeon Bay, Wis. (October 9, 2025) — Do Good Door County is pleased to announce its upcoming HomeFit event in October in Sturgeon Bay, part of the organization’s ongoing effort to empower residents with tools and knowledge to live more comfortably and safely in their own homes.

What is HomeFit?
HomeFit is a series of free, expert‐led sessions offered across Door County between May and October. Each session brings together professionals in aging, home safety, and assistive technology to share straightforward improvements, best practices, and adaptive solutions to help older adults and those with mobility challenges live independently and with dignity.

October Session Details

  • Date & Time: Thursday, October 23, 2025, sessions offered at 10 am & 2 pm (Choose the time that best fits your schedule!)
  • Location: ADRC – Aging & Disability Resource Center – 916 North 14th Ave.,
    Sturgeon Bay, WI 54235


Why Attend?
Many small adaptations — from better lighting and grab bars to simple lever handles or visual cues — can substantially reduce fall risk, increase comfort, and prolong independence. 

The HomeFit series is ideal for homeowners, caregivers, family members, or anyone interested in creating a more accessible living environment.

Speakers & Partners

  • Darrin Wasniewski, Associate State Director of AARP Wisconsin, will guide attendees through the AARP HomeFit Guide
  • Calvin Richtig, Assistive Technology Professional with Options for Independent Living, will showcase hands-on tools and assistive devices
  • Hosted by Do Good Door County, in partnership with AARP Wisconsin and Options for Independent Living

Bonus: All attendees will have a chance to win a Kwik Trip Gift Card.

The HomeFit series is free and open to the public. No pre-registration is required.
