aging in place   

What is CAPS?

The Certified Aging-in-Place Specialists (CAPS) designation program allowed Welhouse Construction Services, LLC to become proficient in the technical, business management, and customer service skills essential to competing in the fastest growing segment of the residential remodeling industry – home modifications for the aging-in-place.  The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) Remodelors (Trade Mark Required Here) Council – in collaboration with the Association of the Aging and Retired People (AARP), NAHB Research Center and NAHB Senior Housing Council – developed this program to provide comprehensive, practical, market-specific information about working with older and maturing adults as well as the handicapped to remodel their homes for aging-in-place.

What is aging-in-place?

In plain English, aging-in-place means remaining in one’s home safely, independently and comfortably, regardless of age, income or ability level.  It means the pleasure of living in a familiar environment throughout ones maturing years and/or life as the case may be.  In addition, it means having the ability to enjoy the familiar daily rituals and special events that enrich all our lives.  The bottom line is that it means the reassurance of being able to call a house a “home” for a lifetime.
