Description

Aging in Place is a Team Sport

A Builder & Physical Therapist Perspective 

How can we design homes that support independence, safety, and dignity as people age? This interactive 60-minute program brings together a CAPS-certified builder/remodeler and a CAPS-certified licensed physical therapist to explore how synergy between construction and healthcare perspectives make homes safer and longer-lasting. This class is useful to both Builder and Associate Members!

Participants will learn: 

• Why Aging in Place matters now—demographics, demand, and savings compared to assisted living. 
• The fundamentals of CAPS certification and what it means for building trust and credibility.
•  Design features that promote accessibility, from no-step entries to better lighting, and why they matter for mobility and safety. 
• How physical therapists assess functional needs—balance, strength, mobility—and how builders translate those needs into practical design solutions. 
• A live, collaborative Home Assessment Walk-Through, where participants identify hazards and discuss real-world modifications. 
• Strategies to position yourself as a trusted Aging in Place resource, building partnerships and referrals with healthcare providers and caregivers. 

Through real-life examples, a team-based demonstration, and open discussion, attendees will see how combining the expertise of builders and healthcare professionals can transform homes—and lives.
