Monroe, WA – Canyon Creek Cabinet Company is pleased to announce that its national trainer Jeannine Laitres, CKD, CBD, has recently received the CAPS (Certified Aging-In-Place Specialist) designation.

“Aging in Place” is one of the fastest growing segments in home remodeling, and the CAPS program was developed by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) Remodelers™ Council, in collaboration with the AARP organization.

The CAPS program teaches design professionals the necessary skills to help older adults modify their homes so that they can safely remain in their homes as they age. As part of the training, the program focuses on the unique needs of people over the age of 50, addressing the most common barriers in their homes and designing home remodel solutions.

Jeannine has been with Canyon Creek for over 13 years. In addition to her current role as their national training manager, she heads up the Design Services program that provides 20-20 cabinet designs for customers. Prior to that, she held a key role within the product development team, and was also the customer service manager. Canyon Creek Cabinet Company, located in Monroe, Washington, is a leading manufacturer of affordable, custom frameless and framed style cabinetry for every room in the home. In 2009, Canyon Creek introduced its line of closet and storage products—Canyon Creek Closets Plus—creating one of the most extensive lines of custom cabinetry and closet storage systems available.

In 2010, Canyon Creek launched Newcastle framed cabinetry, and in 2011, Katana frameless cabinetry. Both cabinet lines are designed to provide high-quality, entry-level product for today’s price-competitive market.

Canyon Creek has been a recognized leader in the kitchen and bath industry since 1981 and has won many industry awards for its cabinetry and environmental practices. The company was chosen for a number of key awards from the Association of Washington Business (AWB), such as the 2010 Green Manufacturing, 2011 Manufacturer of the Year, and the 2012 Better Workplace Safety Awards.
