What is Aging-In-Place
Aging-in-place is when a person lives and ages in their residence of choice for as long as they wish or are able to. Investing in specific home modifications gives individuals the peace of mind they need to safely live independently.

Certified Aging-In-Place Specialist
As a Certified Aging-in-Place Specialists (CAPS), our team has gone through extensive training to better guide our clients in building or remodeling a safe and secure home that incorporates universal design elements.

Kitchens
Kitchen modifications can help a person continue to live independently and safely. Hard to reach counters, sinks and appliances make cooking difficult and can potentially lead to accidents. Kitchen modifications can include: lowering countertops and sinks, installing accessibly appliances, easy grip faucets, easy-to-read controls.

Zero-Entry Home
If you look closely, this home features a zero-step entrance. A zero-step entry is exactly what it sounds like: an entrance with NO steps!
The truth is that the likelihood of an adult aged 65 years or older falling drastically increases! So much that based on a 2018 study by the CDC, 27.5% of adults aged 65 years or older reported at least one fall in the past year (35.6 million falls). Incorporating a zero-stair entrance means that the homeowners can safely and securely enter/exit the home without the fear of falling.

Elevators
While some people might be hesitant about the idea of installing an elevator in their home, installing an elevator or lift can make all the difference when considering a long-term home to age in place. An elevator is a simple solution to prevent stair-related accidents in disabled or aging individuals.
