Design Concepts and Methods for Livable Homes and Aging In Place (CAPS II)

The increasing desire among today’s homeowners to live in their home as long as possible has created a strong demand for aging in place (AIP) products and services. To help homeowners make their home a safe, accessible and comfortable living environment, many manufacturers and companies are developing functional and innovative products that can be used in an existing or new home. Likewise, service providers are answering the AIP demand by focusing their businesses on creating new homes and renovations that provide design flexibility, pleasing aesthetics, and high function and usability for all people with regard to age, income or ability level, regardless of life's changes and challenges. To be a successful AIP provider, you must focus your design/build expertise and adapt your business processes to execute these projects. New design concepts and products must support proposed solutions for your clients.
