Register to Be a Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist
Posted on 11/11/24
Aging in place refers to the ability to live independently and comfortably in one's own home and community as one grows older, rather than moving to an institutional care setting. This is a priority issue for AARP.
We are excited to bring you the opportunity to become a Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS). Take advantage of this exclusive WOWISM training offer for Virgin Islanders, courtesy of Lowe’s, NAHB Education Sponsor.
The CAPS designation program teaches the technical, business management, and customer service skills essential to competing in the fastest growing segment of the residential remodeling industry: home modifications for the aging-in-place.
The baby boom generation has many choices as this large population of potential clients for remodelers, builders, contractors and occupational therapists considers where to live — but overwhelmingly, seniors would prefer to stay in their own homes. The CAPS designation offers your potential clients what they need most: reassurance that you’ll help them make the choices that will help them stay in their homes safely and securely.
In addition, the CAPS designation helps you make your clients’ homes more “visitable.” Even if the home owners don’t think they need additional task lighting, grab bars, and other home modifications for their own use, their family members and visitors might. CAPS helps you help your clients make the right choices, and it gives you more security in remodeling market niche that’s continuing to grow in popularity.

This is a priority issue for AARP. <br><br>We are excited to bring you the opportunity to become a Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS). Take advantage of this exclusive WOWISM training offer for Virgin Islanders, courtesy of Lowe’s, NAHB Education Sponsor.<br><br>The CAPS designation program teaches the technical, business management, and customer service skills essential to competing in the fastest growing segment of the residential remodeling industry: home modifications for the aging-in-place.<br><br>The baby boom generation has many choices as this large population of potential clients for remodelers, builders, contractors and occupational therapists considers where to live — but overwhelmingly, seniors would prefer to stay in their own homes. The CAPS designation offers your potential clients what they need most: reassurance that you’ll help them make the choices that will help them stay in their homes safely and securely.<br><br>In addition, the CAPS designation helps you make your clients’ homes more “visitable.” Even if the home owners don’t think they need additional task lighting, grab bars, and other home modifications for their own use, their family members and visitors might. CAPS helps you help your clients make the right choices, and it gives you more security in remodeling market niche that’s continuing to grow in popularity.<br><br><b>Certification Description</b><br>Successful completion of CAPS 1, 2, and 3 are required to earn the CAPS designation. These class offerings are exclusive to U.S. Virgin Islands attendees. Discount pricing is available only on classes offered directly by WOWISM, a minimum of 10 attendees is required.
