The Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS) designation was developed by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) Remodelors™ Council, in collaboration with the AARP, NAHB Research Center and NAHB Seniors Housing Council. This program was developed to provide professionals training that would enable them to accommodate the needs of people over the age of 50, as well as the knowledge they would need to modify their homes for aging in place.

The program focuses specifically on the customer service skills, technical information and  business management training needed to properly serve the needs of older adults.

In layman’s terms, a CAPS certified professional has been trained on the unique needs of seniors, modifying homes so someone can live there longer as they age and addressing the most common barriers in a home.

If you are concerned about making your home ‘aging ready’, finding a CAPS certified professional is your best first step to making sure your future needs are addressed during your remodeling project.
