Frequently asked questions

What is a CAPS certification?

Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist is a designation from the National Association of Home Builders. It means the builder is specifically trained in the needs, modifications and universal-design principles that help people live safely at home as they age.

What are the most important aging-in-place upgrades?

Often a curbless shower, grab bars, improved lighting, non-slip flooring, a zero-step entry and a first-floor bedroom and bathroom. We prioritize based on the person’s needs and budget.

Will the modifications make my home look institutional?

No. Modern universal design is attractive and seamless. Done well, these features simply make a beautiful home safer and more comfortable for everyone.

Can these changes be made to an older New Orleans home?

Yes. We adapt aging-in-place solutions to historic and older homes thoughtfully, preserving character while improving safety and access.
