Awareness of the aging in place (AIP) concept in the home building industry has increased significantly so that the National Association of Home Builders Certified Aging-in-Place (CAPS) designation is becoming the preferred, if not the expected, designation for professionals working with the AIP population. The CAPS program was created to introduce building industry professionals to the market’s growth potential and to teach techniques for expanding a business through effective marketing, communication, and solution design and implementation for this market.

Details and Solutions for Livable Homes and Aging in Place (CAPS III) discusses the application and integration of design solutions in a home. It is the final step toward developing knowledge and skill for staying ahead of the curve in this ever-expanding market.

By completing this course, participants will be able to:

Create comprehensive designs for aging in place projects

Practice design and installation for key components of AIP home design

Implement techniques of budget integration into design and product selection

Identify common missteps for design and installation of AIP solutions

Review and apply solutions for common single-room modifications of a specified space

Prioritize solutions in a whole house multi-generational case study while being compliant with budgetary constraints with consideration given to phased construction application
