Certified Aging In Place Specialist (CAPS) - 336.608.8810

...A CAPS is on staff. We offer a fee-based, in-home accessibility evaluation

Most adults would prefer to age in place—that is, remain in their home of choice as long as possible. They know their home and are comfortable in it.

In fact, 90 percent of adults over the age of 65 report they would prefer to stay in their current residence as they age.

One-third of American households are home to one or more residents 60 years of age or older.

According to AARP, older home owners overwhelmingly prefer to age-in-place, which means living in your home safely, independently and comfortably, regardless of age or ability level.

  

The NAHB Remodelers of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) in collaboration with Home Innovation Research Labs, NAHB 50+ Housing Council, and AARP developed the Certified Aging-In-Place Specialist (CAPS) program to address the growing number of consumers that require modifications.

 

What is a Certified Aging in Place Specialist (CAPS)?

A Certified Aging in Place Specialist (CAPS) is someone who understands the aging-in-place home remodeling market and the technology, tools and resources that are available for seniors to age in place.

Individuals with the CAPS designation are trained in the needs of the aging population, common remodeling projects and expenditures, codes and standards, product ideas and resources.

Although not directly related to home accessibility, crafting a plan with someone who understands mobility needs and accessibility is incredibly important!

 We makes vehicles accessible by installing wheelchair lifts and ramp systems.


A CAPS professional can help you make your home “aging-ready.” 

 Working with a certified aging in place specialist gives you the assurance that you are dealing with someone who has had training in crafting solutions that meet the independent housing needs of older adults.

CAPS professionals use universal design principles to create a safer, more comfortable and more independent life in their own home, both now and in the future.

Some examples of home modifications include: increased lighting, accessible switches at both ends of the stairs, additional railings, grab bars, nonskid flooring, a hand-held, flexible shower head, walk-in bathtubs, and the removal of throw rugs and clutter.

In most cases, home modifications can be simple and cost-effective, while simultaneously offering substantial benefits to the individual.

Other modifications to the home – especially those that require retrofitting – are a little more costly due to increased complexity of installation.

These can include: ramps for accessible entry and exit, walk-in shower, sliding shelves, stairlifts, or even home elevators.

Many homes are built or retrofitted with the Universal design model in mind, which makes everything in the home accessible to all people with or without functional limitations.
