SPRINGDALE - With the prospect of the first wave of Baby Boomers becoming older adults in the next decade, there is interest in the home building industry in helping them remain in their own homes as they age.

The Certified Aging-In-Place program was designed by AARP and the National Home Builders Association to address the needs of aging individuals with regard to their physical environment. Now, the Home Builders Association of Greater Cincinnati is offering training that will enable builders and remodelers to become Certified Aging-In-Place Specialists (CAPS).

The three classes required for certification will be offered Thursday, Friday and Oct. 2. Registration is required.
