What ends up in your inbox
The visit
What we can help with next (no pressure)
The plan is what we'd write if it were our own parent. Honest. Prioritized. Written for your family.
Free if the home is ready.
If our CAPS-certified specialist walks the home and concludes it's already aging-in-place ready, the visit is free. The $399 is refunded. If we recommend changes, the plan is yours and the visit is paid. Either way, you walk away with the truth about the home.
"More than three out of four adults age 50 and older want to remain in their homes as they age. Most homes weren't built for it."

Aging in place is the plan. We help you finish the math.
The things families ask first.
What does the visit actually cover?
The walkthrough follows the CAPS framework. The specialist looks at the home through three lenses, in order: life safety, fall prevention, and daily function. Every essential area gets covered. Bathroom. Kitchen. Stairs. Doors. Lighting. Flooring transitions. Reach and grip. Emergency exits. The path from bed to bathroom at 3am. Inside and out.
How long is the visit?
About 90 minutes. We don't rush a home. The written plan comes back inside a week.
What's CAPS and why does it matter?
CAPS is the Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist designation from the National Association of Home Builders. It's the credential that says someone has been formally trained in how to make a home work for aging in place. The broader industry term is Universal Design. Making homes work for everyone, regardless of age or ability. Most "home assessments" online are run by people who haven't done the formal training. Ours have.
Will you recommend products or contractors?
Only when you ask. We'll share what's worked for other families. Whoever does the work is your call.
What if my parent doesn't want me there?
Common, and fine. The specialist can run the visit with your parent alone and brief you separately. We've found that often goes better.
What if the home is already in good shape?
We tell you. The plan says "aging-in-place ready" with the reasons, and the $399 is refunded. The point of the visit is the truth about the home, not finding things to bill for.
