As we grow older, the desire to stay in our homes—where we've built memories and feel most comfortable—becomes even more important. But aging in place isn't just about remaining in the same space; it's about ensuring that your home continues to meet your needs in terms of safety, accessibility, and luxury.


That's where a Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS) comes in. These professionals are trained to modify homes in ways that enhance mobility, prevent hazards, and improve overall functionality—without sacrificing elegance or style. Whether you're planning ahead or responding to new mobility needs, working with a CAPS-certified designer from Acadian House Design + Renovation ensures that your home remains both beautiful and practical for years to come.
