CAPS - Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist

Information about Certified Aging-in-Place Specialists here on the NAHB Web site

A Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS) has been trained in:

• The unique needs of the older adult population;
• Aging-in-place home modifications;
• Common remodeling projects;
• Solutions to common barriers.

The Remodelers Council of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) in collaboration with the NAHB Research Center, NAHB Seniors Housing Council, and the AARP developed this program to address 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.
