OLDER AMERICANS ARE DRIVING
THE NEED FOR HOUSING TO AGE IN PLACE
The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) created the Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS) program to teach residential remodelers home modifications for the aging-in-place.
“Some of the simple and easy fixes are things such as: adding safety bars to an
existing shower or tub area, changing light switches from toggle to paddle
switches, exchanging door knobs with level door handles, adding a removable
shower seat to your existing shower/tub area or even installing a comfort
height toilet to your bathroom,”
said Steve Cunningham, CAPS, CGP — 2021 NAHB
Remodelers Chair and owner of Williamsburg, Va.,-based Cunningham Contracting.
