Exciting News: I’m Now a Certified Aging in Place Professional!

I am thrilled to announce that I am now a Certified Aging in Place Professional (CAPS)! This certification allows me to help older adults and individuals with mobility challenges live safely and comfortably in their homes for as long as possible. Aging in place is about more than just staying in your home—it’s about maintaining independence, enhancing quality of life, and ensuring safety through smart design and modifications.

As a CAPS professional, I offer three key services to support aging in place:

1. Home Safety Assessments

One of the first steps in aging in place is identifying potential hazards in your home. I conduct comprehensive home safety assessments to pinpoint risks such as slippery floors, poor lighting, or difficult-to-access spaces. After the assessment, I provide recommendations for modifications to enhance safety, accessibility, and ease of use.

2. Customized Home Modifications

Every home and every individual has unique needs. I specialize in modifying living spaces to accommodate changing mobility, vision, and balance. This may include installing grab bars, widening doorways, adding stair lifts, or designing accessible bathrooms with walk-in showers. My goal is to create a home that is not only safe and functional but also comfortable and stylish.

3. Aging in Place Planning & Consultation

Aging in place is most successful with a proactive plan. I offer consultations to help you or your loved ones plan for future needs, whether it’s downsizing furniture for better mobility, integrating smart home technology, or preparing for potential caregiving support. Together, we can create a strategy to ensure long-term comfort and independence.

Aging in place is about preserving freedom, dignity, and peace of mind. If you or a loved one are looking to make your home more accessible and aging-friendly, I’d love to help!
