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

The CAPS designation was developed by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) Remodelors Council, in collaboration with the AARP, , and NAHB Seniors Housing Council to provide comprehensive, practical, market-specific information about working with older and maturing adults to remodel their homes for aging-in-place. CAPS Specialists are trained in:

• The unique needs of older people;
• Home modifications that can help people continue living independently in their homes longer;
• Common remodeling projects;
• Solutions to common barriers.

CAPS professionals have been taught the strategies and techniques for designing and building aesthetically pleasing, barrier-free living environments. The CAPS program goes beyond design to address the codes and standards, common remodeling projects and their costs, product ideas and resources needed to provide comprehensive and practical aging-in-place solutions.
