By providing free access to educational resources and training modules, Trualta empowers caregivers, including family members and friends, to acquire the necessary skills and support to care for their aging loved ones effectively. The platform plays a vital role in addressing the increasing caregiving responsibilities and aims to improve outcomes while reducing caregiver burden.

Through the Certified Aging in Place Specialist (CAPS) certification, the program provides assessments and home modifications that prioritize safety and comfort for seniors with mobility issues or sensory impairments. By offering income-based services such as repairs, occupational therapist home visits, and CAPS-certified repair specialists, this initiative supports local seniors and promotes independent living.
