HSA’s David Rhoads Presents on Home Remodeling for Seniors at "Aging in Place" Conference

SALINE, MI — David Rhoads, the founder and president of Homeowner Services of America, Inc. (HSA) of Saline, Michigan, was one of three panelists who presented on the topic "Build or Remodel Your Home for the Future" on Tuesday, November 8, from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm at the Home Builders Association of Washtenaw County (HBAWC) in Ann Arbor, Michigan. A capacity crowd heard Rhoads and his co–presenters offer advice and answer questions about building and remodeling homes for easier living by senior citizens.

This "lunch and learn" event was part of the "Aging in Place" Conference held November 8–11 by the Housing Bureau for Seniors, a community–supported service of the University of Michigan Health System. "Aging in Place" sessions occurred at various locations around Washtenaw County during the four days of the conference. Details on the Housing Bureau for Seniors are available at www.med.umich.edu/seniors.

People who were unable to participate in the November 8 session can attend a repeat presentation, also featuring David Rhoads as a panelist, on Tuesday, November 22, from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm. This event will happen at HBAWC headquarters on 179 Little Lake Drive, Ann Arbor, MI 48103. Pre–registration is recommended.
