Our own Mark Holliday, CR, has earned the Certified-Aging-In-Place Specialist (CAPS) designation. This universal design specialty means friendlier homes – from wider doorways and no-step entries to easy-to-use faucets and light switches.
Seventy-seven million people will reach retirement age in the early decades of the 21st century. Aging in place is a specialized remodeling field that allows people to stay in their own homes as they grow older, rather than being forced to relocate. To help people maintain active lives within a framework of changing physical ability, a CAPS remodeler can make modifications such as adjusting the height of sinks and appliances, replacing standard doorknobs with easy-to-operate levers, and many others.
CAPS is a collaboration between the National Association of Home Builders and AARP. To learn more, give us a call or visit this page on the web.
