Common Questions
What is a certified aging-in-place specialist (CAPS)?
A Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS) is a professional who specializes in making homes more accessible and suitable for individuals as they age.

What are some examples of activities of daily living (ADLs), and why are they crucial in the context of aging-in-place?
Activities of daily living (ADLs) include tasks like bathing, dressing, grooming, eating, and using the toilet. These activities are essential for maintaining independence, and CAPS modifications often focus on making these tasks easier for older adults to perform at home.
How does choosing long-term care or an assisted living facility differ from the option of aging at home with CAPS modifications?
Long-term care facilities and assisted living facilities provide a structured environment with professional care while aging at home with CAPS modifications allows older adults to remain in their residences. The latter choice often aligns with the desire for familiarity, independence, and a personalized living space tailored to their needs.
