COA presents: CarFit Event-April 28, 9:30-11:30 AM
Apr 28 @ 9:30 am - 11:30 am
FreeOpen to out-of-town seniors beginning April 8th
The Acton Council on Aging (COA) is offering a free community CarFit event in the Senior Center parking lot. CarFit is designed to give a quick but comprehensive check on how well an older driver and their vehicle work together with a focus on comfort, safety, and mobility. Sometimes simple adjustments to mirrors, seat, steering wheel, or head restraint can make a big difference! It is not a driver test. CarFit is a national program developed by AARP and the American Occupational Therapy Association. Each appointment takes less than 30 minutes for a technician to complete a 12-point checklist with each driver.
An occupational therapist will also meet with each driver and, if applicable, will show examples of devices that can improve the driver’s “car fit.” We always receive a good deal of positive feedback after these events—don’t miss out!
Advance registration is required (call 978-929-6652), as is signing a waiver on the day of the event.
