JOHNSON CITY — Have you ever wondered how simple home modifications can help older adults live longer and safer in their homes? What help is available for homebound veterans, or how to find information about food resources in Northeast Tennessee? What about self-care for those working in the social-work field, recognizing the types and symptoms of dementia, the ramifications of failing to implement an estate plan and many other topics? To learn about all this and more, you need to attend First Tennessee Area Agency on Aging and Disability's 35th annual Conference on Aging, which is scheduled for Tuesday, April 29, at the MeadowView Conference Resort and Convention Center in Kingsport.
