CO-FOUNDER
Having recently retired from the corporate world, Blaine pursued new goals and became a Certified Aging in Place Specialist (CAPS). Reasons for pursuing this designation were driven by observing his own aging family members who wanted a quality life but met challenges along the way. Blaine's former professional career as an industrial supplier adds a keen insight and knowledge about obtaining adaptive equipment and the necessary resources. Blaine's approach to problem solving when it comes to home modifications is conservative, focusing on the most cost-effective and efficient solutions while providing options for the client.
The CAPS designation from the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) helps Living Fully At Home® offer what our clients need most, the reassurance that we'll focus our recommendations on choices that will help them stay in their homes safely and securely.
