Start FreeAging-in-place planning for Kenmore families
Older homes, practical fixes
Much of Kenmore's housing is older, with interior stairs, basement laundry and narrow bathrooms. Start with the basics: railings on both sides of stairs, grab bars, better lighting, and moving everyday items off high shelves. Our aging in place checklist walks through each room.
Local support to know
The Town of Tonawanda runs a senior center that serves Kenmore residents. Countywide, NY Connects offers free information on long-term services. Kenmore Mercy Hospital is part of Catholic Health; if a parent is coming home from a stay there, see bringing a parent home from rehab.
Winter and getting around
Plan snow removal for walks and driveways before the first storm, keep a backup heat plan, and line up rides for appointments when driving is no longer safe. These small gaps are often what make families worry most.
Where HOMEWARD fits
HOMEWARD is a planning and coordination service. We do a home visit, build a written plan, help you find qualified independent providers, and keep the family updated. If staying home stops being safe, Cardinal Care Advisors can help with assisted living options.

HOMEWARD is designed to help families navigate the services already available in Western New York rather than pretending one company should provide everything. Public programs, qualified home-care providers, transportation, community supports and independent contractors may all have a role depending on the situation.
