Welcome to Aging with Aurora
My name is Dawn Heiderscheidt. I am a Home Accessibility Consultant in the Philadelphia Region.
I help you increase your knowledge and access to accessibility information to reach your goal to remain in Home Sweet Home.
​
Working with primarily older adults, their caregivers, and those with chronic conditions, I have learned that our homes need to accommodate us at any stage of life, instead of us changing because our homes aren't ready.
