Houses For Living. Homes For Life.
If you're like the majority of Canadians over the age of 45, you want to continue living in a familiar environment throughout your maturing years. According to the CARP, older homeowners overwhelmingly prefer to age in place, which means living in your home safely, independently and comfortably, regardless of age or ability level.
The NAHB Remodelers of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) in collaboration with the NAHB Research Center, NAHB 50+ Housing Council, and AARP developed the Certified Aging-In-Place Specialist (CAPS) education program to help serve the growing number of consumers that will soon require these modifications. While most CAPS professionals are remodelers, an increasing number are general contractors, designers, architects, and health care consultants. Since 2002, nearly 4,000 individuals have earned the CAPS designation.
The most requested aging-in-place improvements include: installing grab bars, upgrading with higher toilets, creating curbless shows, widening doorways, building ramps or lower-thresholds on doors, and adding task lighting.
We have been CAPS certified since 2009, the first in Canada to gain this designation.
