A National Association of Home Builders certification for contractors trained in universal design and aging-in-place modifications.

What they don't tell you

Hire one before you remodel a bathroom for a parent. They'll catch grab-bar reinforcement, threshold height, lever handles, and lighting issues that a regular contractor misses. Palmelle's home assessment is built around the CAPS framework.
