caps #3 Details and Solutions for Livable Homes and AIP

The conversation around aging in place is evolving. No longer a fringe concept, it's now a standard of excellence in home design—and the professionals leading the way are setting themselves apart.

If you’ve taken the first steps with CAPS I and II, now it’s time to bring it all together in a practical, applied, and deeply valuable way.

CAPS III – Details and Solutions for Livable Homes and Aging in Place is where theory meets reality. This course equips you with the skills to confidently design, specify, and implement smart, budget-conscious solutions that transform homes into safe, stylish, and sustainable places to age.

Knowing what to do is not the same as knowing how to do it. Without the right integration of design, product selection, and installation strategy, aging-in-place upgrades can fall short—wasting time, money, and trust.

CAPS III is your final step toward true mastery in aging-in-place home transformation. You’ll gain hands-on strategies, real-world examples, and advanced tools to prioritize solutions, manage budgets, and deliver results your clients will love.

By the end of this course, you'll be able to:

• Create comprehensive AIP designs that reflect both form and function
   
• Practice real-world installation techniques for key components of accessible home design
   
• Integrate budget management into your design and product selection process
   
• Avoid common design and installation mistakes that cost time and compromise safety
   
• Apply room-by-room solutions to single-space modifications with ease and creativity
   
• Tackle multi-generational home design with phased construction plans and strategic budget prioritization
   

This intermediate-level course is essential for:

• Builders and Remodelers
   
• Occupational and Physical Therapists
   
• Real Estate and Aging-in-Place Specialists
   
• Trade Contractors and Designers
