How do I find a remodeler or contractor who knows how to make modifications to improve the accessibility of my home?
The Certified Aging in Place Specialist (CAPS) program trains remodelers and others interested in working with older adults. To obtain a CAPS-certification, the participant must attend a three-day training that includes modules on working with older adults, making home modifications, and business skills and ethics. They must pass a test at the end of each day, and must keep their certification current by taking additional classes. A list of CAPS-certified remodelers is available online from NAHB at www.nahb.org/directory.aspx?sectionID=686&directoryID=188. If there are no CAPS-certified remodelers in your community, contact your local Home Builder Association (HBA) for recommendations of members who may perform the kind of work that you need.
