SAN DIEGO, CA, November 06, 2010 (Press-News.org) Jackson Design & Remodeling (JDR) is proud to announce that Design Team Leader Tatiana Machado-Rosas has been awarded the Certified-Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS) designation.
Machado-Rosas joins a select group of professionals nationwide to earn the CAPS accreditation, which provides the skills and knowledge to help retirees and older adults remain in their homes safely, independently and comfortably, regardless of income or ability level.
The CAPS program was created by the Remodelers Council of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) in collaboration with the NAHB Research Center, NAHB Seniors Housing Council and the AARP. The CAPS designation program teaches the technical, business management and customer service skills essential to compete in the fastest growing segment of the residential remodeling industry--home modifications for seniors.
"Our team at Jackson Design & Remodeling knows how important it is to help local San Diegans continue to live in a familiar environment throughout their senior years," said President and CEO Todd Jackson. "With the CAPS accreditation, our expert designers and architects are better prepared to help make our client's living environment more comfortable, functional and beautiful as they transition into retirement or their later years."
The CAPS curriculum incorporates a variety of information tailored to aging- in-place home modifications, including: background on the older adult population; communication techniques; common aging-in-place remodeling projects; marketing to the aging-in-place market; common barriers and solutions; codes and standards; product ideas and resources; and business management.
CAPS program graduates are required to maintain their designation by attending continuing education programs and/or participating in community service projects. CAPS classes are offered through local and state home building associations and at national trade shows including NAHB's International Builder's Show and the Remodelers' Show.

Third Party Claims in Georgia Workers' Compensation Cases
2010-11-06
Pretty much everyone knows that if you are injured on the job, you have the right to seek workers' compensation benefits from your employer. What many people do not know, however, is that it may be possible to bring a lawsuit against people other than your employer who may have contributed to your injuries. Known as third party claims, these suits are designed to ensure that an employee is fully and fairly compensated for the effects of a workplace injury.
The concept of workers' compensation is a noble one -- providing necessary benefits for injured workers while shielding ...
National Domestic Violence Awareness Month: Breaking the Cycle of Fear
2010-11-06
Since 1987, the National Resource Center on Domestic Violence has promoted October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month to unite advocates across the nation in efforts to reduce violence against women and children. The U.S. Congress has recognized the month every year since in light of the fact that one of four American women will be physically or sexually assaulted by a husband or partner during her lifetime.
This year's presidential proclamation in honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month calls domestic violence a "devastating public health crisis," but continues ...
Businesses and Consumers Face Choices as Bankruptcies Increase
2010-11-06
In New Jersey, the total number of bankruptcy filings increased over 25 percent in the year that ended on June 30. This increase exceeded the national average of 20.4 percent. The national figures included 1.51 million consumer bankruptcy filings and 59,608 business filings.
Extent of Business Bankruptcy Filings
These figures are not surprising, given the tough economy of the last few years. What is surprising, however, is that the increase in bankruptcy filings has not necessarily translated into more work for law firms that handle Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganizations ...
The Momentum to Criminalize "Spice," the Legal Marijuana
2010-11-06
Criminalizing "spice" is the latest aggressive agenda of many state and local jurisdictions, including Utah. The spice found in a common household kitchen cabinet is not the target, but a mixture of herbs and chemical ingredients (labeled as "spice") that creates effects similar to marijuana when smoked.
Regardless of uncertainty over any long-term health implications of smoking spice and the likely practical effects of a ban, law makers and law enforcement officials across the nation are jumping on board and passing regulations to curtail its use. A total of 11 states ...
Protecting Your Interests and Assets After A Car Accident
2010-11-06
According to the Texas Department of Transportation, in 2009 nearly 60,000 car accidents seriously injured more than 80,000 people on Texas roads. Although this marks a 5 percent decrease from the prior year, this is still far too many people with severe and sometimes life-altering injuries.
For those who have suffered injury or serious property damage in one of these auto accidents, an insurance company's initial settlement offer may be tempting. After all, injured parties often need immediate access to funds in order to pay medical bills, vehicle repair costs, or to ...
Electronic Logbooks For Truckers Are Good, But Mandate Brings Problems
2010-11-06
For years, truckers have tried to make light of their efforts to stay awake while hauling those heavy loads on such tight schedules.
Dave Dudley's 1963 hit, "Six Days On The Road," is one example. The song mentions truck drivers using amphetamines to stay awake ("I'm taking little white pills and my eyes are open wide") and falsifying load limits and log books ("I'm a little overweight and my log book's way behind").
Truck drivers are human and there's no need to demonize them. But ultimately, the fatigue drivers suffer can cause terrible truck accidents with serious ...
