I have not found this organization to be hospitable to elderly people with mobility challenges. Among other things, events are held in homes that are not accessible to people using walkers and those people are told that it is not appropriate for them to attend. In addition, married couples are required to have a household membership (currently $995 a year) even if one member of the household no longer resides there because of health issues and/or is no longer allowed to attend events. (Rationale--a co-owner of a home benefits from the ability to access home maintenance referral services even if s/he no longer can live there.) It has been a disappointment to see the organization abandon members once they age to the point that mobility aides such as walkers are necessary, while still charging the full membership fee. It is somehow even more lonely to be abandoned by an organization that was once so important to you.
