Aging In Place

Certified Aging in Place Specialists (CAPS) – Elder Remodeling Services: Remodeling that keeps seniors in their own home.

As a Certified Aging in Place Specialist* (CAPS), Dr. Fix-It provides Home Remodeling and Home Improvement for seniors and their families. We make basic home design modifications to greatly benefit the independent living needs of an aging population. Our affordable nursing home diversion program helps prevent elderly from falling in their own home.

Testimonials

“I hired Bob to make make modifications to my elderly father's condo that would make it safer for him to remain there. Bob did an extremely comprehensive evaluation of the space and of my father's needs, and expedited the process in time for his return from a rehabilitation facility. Thank you Bob!”
~ Dyan deNapoli, The Penguin Lady



“Bob puts his heart and mind into each project he takes on. He has taken the time to understand me as a client and work with me closely to develop what I needed. In the different jobs he's done over the years for me, I've been in different life phases. Bob worked flexibly with me. Each of the projects have come out very well - very good quality and very good value. He can work to accommodate the budget. And our projects together, he's managed to them at or under budget and very close to the timetable. He's taken some of the mystery and guesswork out building and made the projects a pleasure - especially for the long-term.”
