What is the Certified Aging-In-Place Speicialist (CAPS) program?
The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) in collaboration with the NAHB Research Center and AARP developed the Certified Aging-In-Place Specialist (CAPS) program to address the growing need for home modifications that allow for continued living in a familiar environment throughout the maturing years.
According to the AARP, older homeowners overwhelmingly prefer to age in place, which means living in your home safely, independently and comfortably, regardless of age or ability level. CAPS professionals include designers, architects and health care consultants as well as general contractors and remodelers who have completed the required training courses and passed the written certification examinations.
