It’s relatively easy to renovate a traditional home to accommodate a physical disability. By widening doorways, lowering countertops, and using open floor plans with no steps or stairs, a home can be welcoming to anyone. Many architects and contractors design with both disabled and non-disabled residents in mind, so that both groups can live comfortably in the home. And while early efforts at disabled-accessibility were sometimes clunky, awkward to use, and obtrusive, the newer trends are more streamlined and designed to appeal to both the disabled and the non-disabled. After all, both often live together, so making the home easy to maneuver is important to both.
While most homebuilding professionals can design for disabilities, you may want to choose someone who specializes in it. These architects, designers, and contractors can show you exactly what a home needs to be more accessible, whether it’s roll-in showers or extra safety measures. They usually consult both with the disabled person and with their physical or occupational therapist, caregiver, and/or family members. They then take into account the needs of everyone in the home, as well as budget considerations. By looking at these factors, they can create a space that everyone can enjoy.
