Spaces For Living holds a Certified Aging In Place (CAPS) designation from the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). CAPS logoWe are uniquely qualified to consult with builders to make recommendations as to home design and modifications to implement the features of universal design principles.

CAPS professionals have been taught the strategies and techniques for designing and building aesthetically pleasing, barrier-free living environments. The CAPS program goes beyond design to address common renovation projects and their costs, product ideas and resources needed to provide comprehensive and practical aging-in-place solutions.

UNIVERSAL DESIGN & BOOMERS
By 2010, one in three Americans will be 50 or older. That’s a huge number of people who need to think about where they’re going to live as they age. And, according to AARP,  they overwhelmingly prefer Aging-in-Place to assisted-living and nursing homes. Aging-in-Place refers to remaining in your home safely, independently and comfortably and universal design features allow people to do just that.

These days, an adaptable, accessible home is on everyone’s list. The old ways of designing homes just don’t work anymore. Opening doors with arms full of groceries is as difficult at 30 as it is at 70. More of us are living with disabilities and people live longer than used to. Younger people want a home that they can get around in when they are sick or injured and they want a home that will grow old with them. Universal design allows this to happen. And that’s where we come in.
