Chris Moore, “Age Out Loud,” and the Journey to Safer Living Through CAPS

VGM Live at Home is honored to work alongside individuals who are shaping the future of accessible, dignified living for older adults, including Chris Moore, a longtime advocate for safe, thoughtful home modifications in the aging-in-place space and the author of the powerful new book, “Age Out Loud.” 

Moore is the founder of Senior Remodeling Experts, Inc., with over 39 years of experience in building, remodeling, and consulting services for a variety of clients. 

Moore’s work reflects a major truth of the home accessibility industry: aging isn’t something to hide or fear. Rather, it’s something to embrace, plan for, and live out loud. His message aligns perfectly with the mission of VGM Live at Home as we equip our members with the training, tools, and community needed to support homeowners who want to remain independent and comfortable in the places they love most. 

Celebrating Aging With Confidence: About “Age Out Loud” 

In “Age Out Loud,” Moore challenges the stereotypes surrounding aging and encourages readers to take control of their homes, health, and lifestyles as they age. His book blends personal stories, practical advice, and a forward-thinking perspective that recognizes aging as a new chapter full of possibility. 

For home access professionals, remodelers, and aging-in-place professionals, “Age Out Loud” serves as both inspiration and validation. It reminds us why our work matters. Every grab bar, ramp, widened doorway, and accessible bathroom contributes to the larger vision Chris writes about: a world where aging with dignity is the norm, not the exception.

Elevating the Standard of Care Through CAPS 

As Moore emphasizes in his book, safe and functional home environments are essential for healthy aging. That’s exactly where the Certified Aging in Place Specialist (CAPS) program comes in. 

CAPS training is offered year-round and provides essential, career-building knowledge for professionals dedicated to aging-in-place solutions. 

The CAPS certification equips remodelers, contractors, therapists, and home access providers with the tools they need to better serve older adults who want to age safely in their own homes, with specialized training in: 

  • The unique physical, emotional, and lifestyle needs of older adults 
  • Aging-in-place home modifications and accessibility solutions 
  • Common remodeling projects related to safety and usability 
  • Identifying and resolving barriers within the home environment 

CAPS classes are offered throughout the year, making it easy for VGM Live at Home members to expand their expertise and elevate the quality of care they provide. Click here to view the upcoming trainings in April and May

Connecting Passion with Purpose 

Moore’s work in home accessibility is deeply personal, rooted in a desire to help people not just remain in their homes, but truly thrive in them. He encourages homeowners to advocate for themselves and seek out professionals who understand how to build safe, beautiful, supportive environments. 

That shared sense of purpose is why Chris’ work resonates so strongly with the VGM Live at Home community and broader home access industry. Our members show up every day with the same commitment to helping individuals age on their own terms with safe and accessible home modifications. As demand for aging-in-place services continues to grow, now is the time to invest in education, refine skills, and continue building trust within the communities we serve.  

Continuing the Work of Helping People Age Out Loud 

Moore’s message is clear: aging is something to embrace boldly and proudly. With the right home modifications, aging-at-home solutions, and proper training and certifications, individuals can continue living the life they love, safely and comfortably. 

VGM Live at Home is honored to partner with individuals like Moore who are helping the home access industry continue building safer, more accessible homes for customers to age in place with confidence.
