Find Local Help
CareWise Guide is not a provider directory. When a checklist, comparison, or decision guide points you here, it's because the need has grown past what a self-guided checklist can solve — the resources below are legitimate, non-commercial starting points.
- Eldercare Locator
A federal public service (Administration for Community Living) that connects you with your local Area Agency on Aging for home-modification assistance programs, respite care, and other local aging services.
- NAHB Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS) directory
A searchable directory of professionals who hold the CAPS credential, for a professional home safety assessment or modification work beyond DIY scope.
- Your state Medicaid office / Area Agency on Aging
The right first call for questions about HCBS waiver coverage or other benefits-related funding for home modifications — rules vary by state, so we point you to the source rather than guessing.
What "CAPS" means
A Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist has completed NAHB-recognized training in home modification for older adults and people with disabilities. We never name or rank individual CAPS professionals — use the directory above to find one near you. See the full Glossary entry.
