Helping the Aging Population Thrive at Home: Our Commitment as a CAPS-Certified Company
At Handyman Services, a division of Christy Enterprises, LLC, we are proud to announce that our team is now CAPS Certified (Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist). This prestigious certification from the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) is a major accomplishment for our company and reflects our deep commitment to helping older individuals maintain their independence by safely and comfortably aging in place.
What Does CAPS Certification Mean?
The Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS) program is specifically designed to train professionals in the knowledge and skills needed to modify homes to accommodate the needs of aging individuals. Aging in place refers to the ability of people to live in their own homes safely, independently, and comfortably as they age, rather than moving into assisted living facilities or nursing homes.
The CAPS certification equips professionals with expertise in home modifications for accessibility, functionality, and safety. This includes installing grab bars, ramps, widened doorways, step-free showers, proper lighting, and much more. These modifications not only make daily life easier for aging individuals but also reduce the risk of accidents and injuries, such as slips and falls, that are common in traditional home setups.
Why Is CAPS Certification Important?
Earning the CAPS certification is no easy feat. It requires a commitment to specialized training, including learning the technical, aesthetic, and ethical aspects of making homes safer and more accessible for older adults. With this certification, we’ve gained knowledge about:
Understanding the specific needs of aging individuals and individuals with disabilities.
Designing solutions to make homes accessible without compromising style or aesthetics.
Complying with ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) guidelines for residential modifications.
The certification demonstrates our commitment to providing professional, high-quality services tailored to the unique needs of the aging population. It reassures our customers that they are in the hands of qualified experts who have been thoroughly trained and vetted in this field.
Our Dedication to Aging in Place
At Handyman Services, we believe that everyone deserves the ability to live comfortably and confidently in their own homes, regardless of age or physical ability. For many individuals, their homes are not just living spaces—they're places filled with memories, familiarity, and comfort. Moving to an assisted living facility can be emotionally and financially taxing, which is why aging in place has become an increasingly popular option.
With our CAPS certification, we are uniquely positioned to help aging homeowners make the necessary modifications to remain in their homes for as long as possible. Whether it’s adding safety features like grab bars and handrails, widening doorways for wheelchair access, building ramps, or redesigning bathrooms and kitchens for ease of use, we are here to ensure that your home adapts to your needs—not the other way around.
