How DTRF Helped Irene Moore Stay at Home

When Irene Moore learned about the Foundation's Aging with Dignity program, she didn't hesitate. As an elderly Descendant living in Dallas, she was proud of her independence but aware that her home, while beloved, presented real safety risks. Like many older adults, she worried about the possibility of falling.

Through the program, Mrs. Moore received a home visit from Rosarium Health, the Foundation's partner organization specializing in aging-in-place assessments. Their team carefully evaluated her space and recommended several modifications to reduce fall risk. The most meaningful upgrade was a series of grab bars and railings strategically placed throughout her home.

"Thank you so much,” Irene said. "This came just in time, and I am very happy."

Now, with these changes in place, Mrs. Moore can move through her home with greater confidence and ease. Her family feels a renewed sense of peace knowing she’s safer — and Mrs. Moore, a steady presence in her community, can continue living in the place she loves
