I often speak to customers who are concerned about their home being constructed to accommodate a possible handicapped family member. Below is a list of features that you may want to consider when building a home that will make it more handicapped accessible for current use and will be less costly with the initial construction than modifying your home to address future needs.
- Wider doorways
- Enlarge bathroom facilities
- Handicapped shower with grab bars
- Install special railings, ramps or not step entry
- Chair Height toilets
- Roll out trays in cabinets
- Lever door handles in place of knobs
- Enlarge garage if necessary
- Low pile carpet
