This article documents a service-learning project to enhance older adults’ safe and independent performance of daily occupations in the home environment while enriching the learning of occupational therapy students. Thirteen rural individuals aged 65 to 89 years participated in the project whereby students identified occupational performance issues, modified occupations and context, and advocated for change to promote safety and independence. The model merits consideration as a replicable service-learning project for other disciplines in higher education to strengthen community relationships, enhance student learning, and support aging in place.
