How do I find an aging-in-place contractor in my state?
The NAHB CAPS directory at nahb.org/caps lets you search by zip code to find Certified Aging-in-Place Specialists near you. Angi and HomeAdvisor both have accessibility contractor categories. Your state's Area Agency on Aging also maintains lists of vetted contractors who work on grant-funded projects.
Do different states have different aging-in-place programs?
Yes. Each state administers its own Medicaid HCBS waiver programs, which vary significantly in what they cover and who qualifies. Many states also have additional programs: New York has EISEP, California has HICAP, and several states offer low-interest loans for home modifications. Your local Area Agency on Aging is the fastest way to find what is available in your state.
Is a CAPS contractor required for state grant programs?
Some state and local grant programs require or prefer CAPS-certified contractors for funded projects. This is because CAPS contractors are more likely to meet ADA standards and handle the paperwork correctly. Check with your specific program administrator for their requirements.
What is the Area Agency on Aging and how do I contact mine?
The Area Agency on Aging (AAA) is a federally-designated local organization that coordinates services for older adults. Every county or region in the US has one. Call 800-677-1116 (Eldercare Locator, free, operates weekdays) to reach your local AAA or visit eldercare.acl.gov to find it online.
