Aging-In-Place

Our aging population is an issue which will affect the home building and remodeling industry over the next several years. The National Association of Home Builders, in partnership with AARP and the NAHB Research Center developed the Certified Aging-In-Place Specialist (CAPS) program to teach building professionals how to design and build new homes or remodel existing homes for aging-in-place.  The following free downloads are designed to provide homeowners with basic information about Aging-In-Place.

Aging-Ready Homes in the United States—Perception Versus Reality of Aging-Accessibility Needs: 2019

To examine whether U.S. homes are prepared for an aging population, this report uses data from the 2019 American Housing Survey (AHS) to show the number of housing units with select aging-accessible features. It examines the number of households with older adults who have difficulty using some feature of their home and how their demographic and economic characteristics differ from those who report no difficulty. The report also looks at older adults’ beliefs and expectations about aging in place. Do older adults think their home meets their aging-accessibility needs and do they plan to renovate in the near future to prepare their home for those needs?
