Why Choose a Certified Aging in Place Specialist (CAPS)?
At S&W Kitchens, aging in place is not a new offering. It is work our designers have been doing for decades, long before it had a name. Our team includes designers with CAPS certification, and that knowledge runs through every project we take on. We know which features to build in now, which to plan for later, and which products look beautiful and function better. That is how we approach remodeling design to create a home that work for you through every phase of life.
What is a CAPS Certified Specialist?
The CAPS designation is developed by the National Association of Home Builders NAHB in collaboration with AARP. A CAPS trained designer understands how your home environment connects to your health, mobility, and independence, and how to plan spaces that support all three without looking like they do. Here's our process:
1
Assessment: We visit your home to evaluate how you live in it today and how your needs may evolve -- then identify where smart design changes will make the biggest difference.
2
Custom Design, Materials and Budget Review: We build a plan that fits your vision and your budget, with material selections and features that look beautiful, work functionally and hold up long term.
3
Professional Installation: Our team manages every detail of the build from start to finish, ensuring every detail meets CAPS standards. Plus we're part of industry groups like the NKBA (National Kitchen & Bath Association), the Florida Home Builders Association, and several other local building associations.

Aging In Place Design for Every Stage of Life
There is no "one-size-fits-all" approach to a forever home. Whether you are settled in a house you've loved for decades, navigating having a parent move in with you, or starting with a blank slate, the goal remains the same: a space that supports you perfectly at every age. Consider how professional aging in place design fits your current situation:
Planning Ahead for Your Forever Home
You are thinking about the next 20 years. Maybe a knee surgery gave you a preview, or you watched a parent struggle in their home. Either way, you want to make smart decisions now, while you have the flexibility to do it right.
A Parent or Family Member Is Moving In
You are redesigning your home to work for more than one generation. Whether it is a dedicated suite, a modified bathroom, or a whole-home refresh, you want the space to feel welcoming and beautiful, not institutional.
Your Home No Longer Fits the Way You Live
The layout made sense once. Now it doesn't. Maybe the bathroom feels like a daily obstacle, the kitchen is not working, or something else. Now it's simply about designing for the life you are actually living along with your current needs.
A Partner for Every Step
If you are looking for a trusted aging in place designer or a consultant to help you map out your "forever home," S&W Kitchens has decades of experience to guide you. True aging in place home modifications are about much more than just grab bars; it is about making life better for everyone who enters your home.
Designing Beyond the Grab Bar
Aging in place design has come a long way. The features that make your home safer and more comfortable today are the same ones that make it more beautiful, and most people would never know they were there.
Explore our portfolio of Florida homes where 'accessibility' is hidden in plain sight, proving that you never have to compromise on your personal style to achieve peace of mind as you get older. We make sure everything is covered.
Bathrooms
Curbless showers that read as a design choice. Grab bars that look like towel bars. Comfort-height fixtures, better lighting, and blocking in the walls for whatever you might need later. The bathroom is where thoughtful design makes the biggest difference.
Kitchens
Pull-out shelving, thoughtful clearances, and cabinet heights that work better for everyone. A well-designed kitchen does not just look good, it also makes daily life easier in ways you will notice every single day.
The Rest of Your Home
Proper lighting throughout the home is one of the most overlooked aging in place upgrades. So is flooring, wider doorways, and smart home technology. The right choices in both improve safety and comfort without changing the look of your home at all.
We had a great experience with all the S&W professionals during the remodeling of our bathroom. Adrianna, Kevin and their time and expertise were appreciated throughout the process. We love our new bathroom and look forward to remodeling our kitchen too.

Your Aging in Place Questions, Answered
Is an aging in place remodel expensive?
Costs vary depending on the scope of work (e.g., a full kitchen remodel vs. a simple bathroom update). However, investing in aging-in-place modifications is often significantly more cost-effective than the long-term costs of assisted living facilities. During our Custom Design, Materials and Budget Review, we will work with you to create a plan that maximizes safety while respecting your investment.
How do you know if you should age in place in your current home or move?
This is a personal decision that balances emotional connection with practical feasibility. If you love your neighborhood and community, staying put is usually preferred. Our initial Consultation can help you decide. We assess your home’s structure to see if cost-effective modifications are possible. If your home can be adapted to be safe and comfortable for the long term, aging in place is often the more affordable and emotionally rewarding choice.
What are the top priorities when remodeling for aging in place?
Every project is different, but most clients start with the bathroom. It is the room where small design decisions make the biggest difference in how safe and comfortable your home feels day to day. Curbless showers, better lighting, the right fixtures and finishes -- these are changes that improve your home immediately and set you up well for the future.
From there, lighting throughout the home is one of the most impactful and most overlooked upgrades. Good lighting in hallways, kitchens, and living spaces changes how a home feels and functions at every age. Doorway widths and flooring choices round out the priorities, small adjustments that make the whole home work better without changing the way it looks.
Can a remodel help me access the second story of my home?
Yes. If single-story living isn’t an option, we can integrate solutions to help you navigate between floors safely. This might include widening staircases for double handrails, redesigning the layout to accommodate a future stairlift, or even incorporating a residential elevator into the design. Alternatively, we can look at remodeling your ground floor to create a primary suite, allowing for complete main-level living.
