What is Universal Design (UD)?
Universal Design is a design approach of products and environments to be usable by all residents living in a home and for guests who visit, to the greatest extent possible, without the
need for adaptation or specialized design.
Universal Design features in products and a build environment make a home safer and more comfortable for everyone, regardless of age, size, or ability.
As the name implies, it is “Good Design for All!”
- Families with young children
- Older adults who want to stay in their home as they grow
older - People who are taller or shorter than average
- People who have limited ability or dexterity
- People with a temporary or permanent disability
What is Aging In Place (AIP)?
Aging-in-place means being able to remain in one’s home safely, independently, and comfortably regardless of age, income, or ability level.
It means the pleasure of living in a familiar environment throughout one’s maturing years and the ability to enjoy the daily rituals and the special events that enrich all our lives.
It means being able to call your house a “home” for a lifetime.
What are the differences between UD and AIP?
Universal design sets a solid foundation to make a home safer and comfortable for everyone living in the home and for those guests who visit.
Aging-in-place takes the concept of universal design a step further, it specifically makes modifications in a built environment to accommodate the changing health needs of an aging adult living in a home, not just for the present time but into the future.
Why Work With a Certified Aging In Place Specialist (CAPS)?
The CAPS Designation was developed by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) in partnership with American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) and is administered by NAHB.
Professionals who have earned the CAPS designation are experts in designing and building aesthetically-enriching, barrier-free living environments.
They have been trained in the unique needs of the older adult population and apply strategies and techniques to provide comprehensive and practical home modification solutions.
CAPS graduates also pledge to uphold a professional code of ethics and are required to take continuing education to maintain their designation.
When you hire a CAPS, you are buying a service rather than a product. A CAPS also has a network of trusted resources to connect clients with other services they might need.
