Lowe’s is launching Livable Home, an initiative to provide products, services and expertise to help seniors age at home. In an article posted on CNBC, Lowe’s said it will offer a wide variety of products, services and expertise geared for older customers in collaboration with nonprofit AARP. Livable Home is a dedicated website containing articles and videos focused on age-friendly design. AARP will also train Lowe’s employees and add signs in select stores next year.

The retailer said in-store enhancements are happening in about 500 stores across 50 metro areas. Lowe’s employees with special training will wear an AARP-branded badge that identifies them to customers looking for age-friendly merchandise.

According to the Livable Home website, Lowe’s will collaborate with AARP to help you make your home ready for all of life’s changes. Lowe’s believes the best way to remain at home tomorrow is to plan ahead today. And together, Lowe’s and AARP are working to make it easier, with helpful videos, tips and resources that anyone can use to make their home fit their needs now and in the future.
