Joe Norwood, a Chapel Hill-based contractor and Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS) at Manor House Renovations, helps people live and age-in-place in their homes comfortably, conveniently, independently, and safely. There may be no need to move, for a certified aging-in-place specialist may be able to show you how to stay in the home that you LOVE!

A person with the CAPS designation is a professional who has completed extensive training, testing, and certification through the National Association of Builders. They are trained to help you choose from options such as improved lighting, easy-open door handles, simple touch plumbing, slip-resistant flooring, a range of safety features, entry and exit ramps, energy-saving smart home features, kitchen renovation, bathroom renovation and grab bars, exterior even-surface walkways and low-maintenance landscaping, and automatic whole house emergency backup power providing uninterrupted power.

The individualized home evaluation process involves a professional assessment of your current home conditions using a 117-item checklist, which includes interior and exterior areas. The checklist is designed to provide a total picture of immediate and possible future needs to support aging-in-place rather than moving to a more expensive housing alternative.

Medicare covers the COVID-19 vaccine, so there will be no cost to you. If anyone asks you to share your Medicare Number or pay for access to the vaccine, you can bet it’s a scam. Here’s what to know: • You can’t pay to put your name on a list to get the vaccine. • You can’t pay to get early access to a vaccine. • Don’t share your personal or financial information if someone calls, texts, or emails you promising access to the vaccine for a fee. If you come across a COVID-19 vaccine scam, report it to the Federal Trade Commission or call MEDICARE at 1-800-MEDICARE. And check out CDC.gov for trustworthy information on the COVID-19 vaccine.

Center Activity Update June 04, 2020

A NOTE FROM KAREN METZGUER, NURSE & DIRECTOR

Fearrington Cares Center remains closed for 2 reasons: state guidance related to COVID-19 and to complete our building renovations.

President Barbara Hummel-Rossi provided a summary of our building progress to the community in an email 2 weeks ago; this summary currently found on our website under "Building Updates."

The heart of Fearrington Cares is our 250+ Volunteers, the majority of whom are considered high risk if infected with the Corona virus. Additionally, 100% of our services put a Volunteer within 6 feet of you; this is the minimum distance recommended for physical distancing. For these reasons, Fearrington Cares traditional services are currently suspended.

I describe Fearrington Cares as a "high touch not a high tech" organization. Unable to perform our services during the NC stay at home executive orders, on my recommendation, the staff and I have been furloughed for the past 2 months. I am writing a proposal for steps to begin reopening when the building is completed and we are allowed to use it. You are still "safer at home" and I hope you are limiting your outings and using masks.

Fearrington Cares services that are most valued by the community do not lend themselves to the digital world. However, we now have movement classes and a support group online; information about them is on our home page. We are loaning equipment, picking up prescriptions and groceries. We will have the health and safety of our Volunteers and all residents at the forefront of the challenging decisions we are making.

Our website is a great resource for new classes and meetings we are adding to our virtual programming.

Check out the digital services available while the Center remains closed.
