About Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist:
Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS) professionals are trained in designing and building aesthetically enriching, barrier-free living environments fit for older and maturing adults. Certification program curriculum focuses on home modifications for aging-in-place remodeling expenditures and projects, as well as an in-depth overview of common home barriers and solutions for adults over the age of 50. To maintain a CAPS designation, graduates are required to attend continuing education programs, commonly offered by a local Home Builder Association, and/or participate in community outreach service projects. To date, the CAPS designation is the only national program that trains remodelers how to design and implement aging-in-place modifications.
