Aging in Place With Allan Roe Contracting
As a Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS), Allan Roe Contracting designs and builds home modifications that enhance safety, accessibility, and day‑to‑day comfort for older adults and people with changing mobility needs.carex+1
Our goal is to turn your current house into a true “forever home” so you can remain in the place you love instead of moving to assisted living or a nursing facility.
What “Aging in Place” Means
Aging in place means choosing to stay in your own home as you get older, supported by smart design, thoughtful remodeling, and the right safety features.
For many adults over 50, this option provides maximum independence, emotional comfort, and financial flexibility compared to institutional care.
Why Choose a CAPS Contractor?
The CAPS program, created by the National Association of Home Builders in collaboration with AARP, teaches specialized technical, design, and customer service skills focused on aging‑in‑place home modifications.
Working with a CAPS professional gives you confidence that your contractor understands accessibility standards, universal design, and the unique needs of older adults and their families.
How Allan Roe Contracting Helps You
At Allan Roe Contracting, we combine hands‑on construction experience with CAPS training to deliver practical, attractive solutions tailored to your home and your daily routines.
From the first walk‑through to final inspection, we focus on clear communication, safety, and minimal disruption to your life.
Typical Aging in Place Upgrades
We customize every project, but common Aging in Place modifications include:
Bathroom safety: zero‑entry showers, grab bars, non‑slip flooring, handheld showerheads, comfort‑height toilets.
Kitchen accessibility: easier‑to‑reach cabinets, better lighting, lever‑style faucets, pull‑out shelves, safer appliance placement.
Fall prevention: wider doorways, smooth flooring transitions, improved lighting, secure railings, reduced trip hazards.
Entry and exterior: ramps or step‑free entries, safer pathways, accessible mail and delivery areas, covered entries for weather protection.
Whole‑home comfort: lever handles instead of knobs, smart home controls, additional lighting, layout adjustments for walkers or wheelchairs.
The CAPS curriculum goes far beyond standard remodeling by focusing specifically on the physical, cognitive, and emotional needs of older adults.
Through three required courses, CAPS specialists learn to evaluate risks, apply universal design principles, and plan long‑term modifications that can adapt as needs change.

Every project begins with a conversation about how you live today and how that may change in the future.
