Welcome!

HomePorts is a non-profit membership organization helping residents stay in their own home as they grow older. HomePorts has been incorporated by the State of  Maryland and began operation in October 2008.

The geographic area covered is the greater Kent County, Maryland area, which includes Chestertown, the Kingstown/Chester Harbor area, Crumpton and all other towns and villages in Kent County.

Remaining in one’s own home while growing old often requires major adjustments and outside assistance, HomePorts, Inc., is in operation to facilitate “aging in place”, promoting safe and healthy aging with peace of mind for members and their families.

 

What's Happening at HomePorts:

Have questions about
Reverse Mortgages??

We have all seen the commercials, and perhaps have heard friends and neighbors talking about them.  What exactly are they and are they appropriate for your situation?   Join us for an hour-long discussion in a no-sale, no-stress atmosphere where you can ask questions without fear of ending up on a prospecting list for some telemarketer.

DATE:  January 24, 2012 from 1 to 2 pm.  

WHERE:  2nd Floor conference room,
Chestertown town hall Building, 118 N. Cross Street

The speaker is Martin Knight who has an MBA from Loyola College and is a Certified Financial Planner™ in the Chestertown Area.  He is the owner of Chesapeake Investment Advisors, Inc., Securities and Advisory Services offered through Geneos Wealth Management, Inc.  Member FINRA/SIPC.  He does not sell or write reverse mortgages—this is strictly an educational event. 

No reservations are necessary, but if you are planning to attend, we would be grateful if you would please call Karen at 443-480-0940 or email her at Karen@homeports.org.

Light refreshments will be served.
