We have all heard how the most important rooms in the house are the kitchen and the bathroom.  This seminar will discuss the most recent trends for both rooms.  We will discuss different materials, colors, and options so you can provide what your clients are wanting.  We will also touch on the implementation of various items because you can have great design ideas, but if those ideas are not installed properly, the design intention is drastically affected.

The increasing desire among today’s homeowners to live in their home as long as possible has created a strong demand for aging in place (AIP) products and services.

To help homeowners make their home a safe, accessible and comfortable living environment, many manufacturers and companies are developing functional and innovative products that can be used in an existing or new home. Likewise, service providers are answering the AIP demand by focusing their businesses on creating new homes and renovations that provide design flexibility, pleasing aesthetics, and high function and usability for all people with regard to age, income or ability level, regardless of life's changes and challenges.

To be a successful AIP provider, you must focus your design/build expertise and adapt your business processes to execute these projects. New design concepts and products must support proposed solutions for your clients.

Design Concepts and Methods for Livable Homes and Aging in Place (CAPS II) prepares you to take on the AIP market intentionally by focusing your business to address the unique challenges of providing successful solutions and outcome.

By completing this course, participants will be able to:

• Identify special considerations for various designs, products and techniques for modifying an existing home while the client is in residence
• Identify specific AIP design solutions and product considerations which professionals can choose in the process to enhance the activities of daily living for the client in their home
• Describe the categories of design and how they relate and apply to the three AIP market segments
• Describe specific design concepts for the livable home and AIP client
