Aging-in-Place Services

Call (770) 939-0747 to speak with our certified aging-in-place specialists.

As we age, most of us prefer to stay in our own homes rather than move to an assisted living facility. Aging in Place means living in your home safely, independently, and comfortably, regardless of age or ability level.

Many times simple modifications or renovations can make a home safer and allow owners to remain in their own homes. The National Association of Home Builders, in collaboration with AARP, developed the Certified Aging-In-Place Specialist (CAPS) Program to address the growing number of consumers that will soon require these home modifications.

DK Lippy Construction Company LLC is among some of the first companies in the metro Atlanta area to complete the specialized training required to become a Certified Aging in Place Specialist. We even created an Aging in place division called HomeFree Home Modification. We have a team providing evaluation, construction services that allow maturing adults to remain in their own homes for a longer period of time, living fuller, more independent and self-reliant lives.

As a CAPS company, we are able to evaluate the present needs of homeowners as well as to anticipate future concerns for those wishing to age in their own homes. We do this through a free audit resulting in a prioritized home modification plan.

Why Modify My Home?

Home modification creates a safer home environment and allows you to maintain your maximum level of independence.

When mobility is an issue for you or a loved one, your home often fails to meets your needs. Maybe the doorways are too narrow or the upper living areas cannot be accessed, or perhaps you can no longer step over the edge of the shower or bathtub. Home modification provides solutions to problems such as these, making your home safer and more accessible.

Home modification is the conversion or adaptation of the environment in order to make performing tasks easier, reduce accidents and falls, and support independent living. It creates a safer home environment for individuals with physical challenges and their caregivers.

HomeFree Home Modification specializes in creating a safer home environment for individuals with specific needs, as well as their caregivers, and to enhance mobility and independence to the greatest degree possible through improvements to bathrooms, kitchens, entry & exit areas, access to upper & lower living spaces, emergency exits and much more. We serve the entire Metro Atlanta area, and the surrounding counties.
