  2. CHUCK MILLER CONSULTING LLC | PAGE 2 Overview As the world's population ages, the demand for senior-friendly homes has increased. Many seniors prefer to age in place, which means they want to live in their homes for as long as possible instead of moving to assisted living facilities. Aging-in-place specialists are professionals who are trained to make homes safer, more comfortable, and more accessible for seniors. A Certified Aging- In-Place Specialist (CAPS) is a professional who has undergone a rigorous training program and passed a test to earn a certification in this field. You need to make a great first impression with your presentation and get them interested. Where do you begin? Before you start with your proposal, tell the client about your work. Why should they rely on you for their marketing needs? WHAT IS A CERTIFIED AGING-IN-PLACE SPECIALIST PROGRAM? The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) developed the CAPS program to address the growing need for aging-in- place specialists. The program offers three designations: CAPS I, CAPS II, and CAPS III. Each level builds on the knowledge and skills of the previous level, with CAPS III being the most advanced. To become certified, candidates must complete the required coursework and pass a test. THE IMPORTANCE OF A CAPS PROGRAM Aging-in-place specialists play a critical role in helping seniors maintain their independence and quality of life. Here are some reasons why a CAPS program is essential: 1. Increased Demand for Senior-Friendly Homes As the baby boomer generation ages, the demand for senior- friendly homes will continue to increase. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the number of Americans aged 65 and older is projected to double by 2060, from 52 million in 2018 to 95 million in 2060. This means that more seniors will need housing that is safe, comfortable, and accessible.

They can recommend modifications to homes that make them safer and more accessible, such as installing grab bars, widening doorways, and adding ramps. These modifications can make a significant difference in the quality of life for seniors and their ability to age in place. 3. Cost-Effective Solution For many seniors, aging in place is a more cost-effective solution than moving to assisted living facilities. The cost of assisted living can be quite high, and it may not be covered by insurance. By making modifications to their homes, seniors can stay in their homes longer and avoid the high costs of assisted living. 4. Improved Safety Aging-in-place specialists can identify potential safety hazards in homes and recommend solutions to mitigate them. This includes addressing fall risks, such as loose rugs and poor lighting, and installing safety features, such as smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors.
