THANK YOU PREMIER SPONSORS:

Certified Aging-In-Place Specialist Designation

The BIA was excited to host the National Association of Home Builders ' 3 Day "Certified Aging-In-Place Specialist" Designation Course. Thank you Steve Monroe of Steve Monroe Enterprises for joining us to instruct the courses.

The BIA welcomed attendees from Louisville, Cincinnati, and Indiana, as well as, Lexington folks who needed to take the brand new CAPS III to continue their Designation.

The Certified Aging-In-Place Specialist (CAPS) Designation program teaches the technical, business management, and customer service skills essential to competing in the fastest growing segment of the residential construction industry: home modifications for aging-in-place. The baby boom generation has many choices as this large population of potential clients for remodelers, builders, contractors and occupational therapists considers where to live – but overwhelmingly, seniors would prefer to stay in their own homes. The CAPS designation offers your potential clients what they need most: reassurance that you’ll help them make the choices that will help them stay in their homes safely and securely.

Included in the three day course schedule was:

- Marketing and Communicating with the Aging in Place Client (CAPS I)

- Design Concepts for Livable Homes and Aging in Place (CAPS II)

- ALL NEW: Details and Solutions for Livable Homes and Aging in Place (CAPS III)

Interested in learning more? Visit: http://www.biacentralky.com/certifiedaging-in-place.html for details on the CAPS courses. STAY TUNED : The BIA will be offering these courses again in the near future!
