Certified Aging in Place (CAPS) Specialist

What is Aging in Place? Aging-in-place means being able to remain in one’s home safely, independently and comfortably regardless of age, income or ability level. It means the pleasure of living in a familiar environment throughout one’s maturing years and the ability to enjoy the daily rituals and the special events that enrich all our lives. It means being able to call your house a “home” for a lifetime.

Top 5 Reasons to work with a CAPS Specialist:

1. You will be working with a professional who values the importance of ongoing education and training and is willing to invest the time and money necessary to stay current on aging-in-place issues.

2. A CAPS works closely with remodelers and health professionals, such as occupational therapists, who understand the challenges of aging and can provide safe, attractive and accessible modifications to your home.

3. Your CAPS is a credible professional with a helpful network of other aging-in-place experts such as therapists, Veterans Administration officials and product suppliers who can serve as additional resources.

4. Should you ever choose to sell your modified home, your CAPS’ influence can make your home more marketable.

5. Modifying your home with a CAPS can potentially be less expensive than alternative arrangements in the future.
