Money Magazine Highlights CAPABLE Program Supporting Aging in Place
National article discusses how home modifications and supportive services can help older adults remain safe and independent at home
A recent article published by Money Magazine highlighted the growing importance of preparing homes for aging in place — and included mention of CAPABLE, an innovative program helping older adults live more safely and independently in their homes.
The article explored how many older adults want to remain in their homes as they age, even though most homes in the United States were not originally designed to accommodate mobility challenges or changing healthcare needs. According to the article, home updates and supportive services can play a critical role in helping seniors maintain independence and quality of life.
Money Magazine specifically highlighted CAPABLE, a nationally recognized program developed by the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing. CAPABLE brings together an occupational therapist, a nurse, and a handyworker to help older adults identify challenges within the home environment and create personalized solutions that improve safety and daily functioning.
The article noted that the program’s support can include home repairs, assistive devices, mobility improvements, and education designed to help participants complete daily activities more safely and confidently.
As more Americans seek ways to age in place, programs like CAPABLE continue to demonstrate how coordinated care, home accessibility, and proactive planning can help older adults remain connected to their communities while maintaining independence.
Supporting safe aging at home is becoming increasingly important as the senior population grows and more families seek alternatives that prioritize comfort, dignity, and quality of life. Recognition from national publications like Money Magazine helps raise awareness about the impact evidence-based programs can have on older adults and caregivers alike.
