This class should be taken before enrolling in CAPS III.
- This is a one-day, 6-credit hour, standalone class that combines with the CAPS I and CAPS III classes to complete the requirements for the CAPS designation. There is no time limit for taking all three classes, but all are needed for the designation.
- Because there is such a strong interest among today’s homeowners (and renters as well) to live in their home as long as possible – essentially indefinitely – people are searching for and requiring solutions in design, products, and services to meet this need. This is regardless of anyone’s current age or perceived level of ability or function, and safety is a huge emphasis.
- AIP (Aging In Place) service providers are answering this demand by focusing their businesses on creating new homes and renovating existing homes with design flexibility, pleasing aesthetics, high function, and usability for all people, without regard to age, income, or ability level, and regardless of life’s changes and challenges.
- This course helps participants to identify common challenges within the home and understand attractive design concepts that create a safe and comfortable environment for clients who want to age in place successfully.
- Participants explore special considerations for estimating, scheduling, and executing the job while the client is in residence; identify legal and contractual considerations for providing AIP design solutions; learn about the categories of design and general building codes and how they relate and apply to AIP clients, and appreciate other factors that relate to creating effective solutions.
- The course presents various methods, techniques, and considerations, as well as structured exercises, for modifying home design and creating effective solutions for a variety or users.
- A downloadable pdf reference book is included.
- CE (6-hours) credits are available for AIA, AIBD, AOTA, APTA, ASID, NKBA and others.
