Supporting Active Independent Lives (SAIL) is a vibrant non-profit membership organization of people 55+ who reside in the Dane county area. SAIL members wish to remain active, independent, in their own homes, and socially connected, and have found that navigating the many changes brought on by age is much easier with the resources offered by SAIL.

AgeBetter’s Safe at Home program provides FREE home safety assessments to any Dane County older adult in an effort to prevent falls and provide helpful fall prevention resources. Call or email Diane Turner today to schedule an assessment! (diane.turner@agebettertoday.org) Brochure: Safe at Home brochure
