Accessible housing means more than simply a house with a ramp or lift.

Today, the concept of accessibility encompasses the needs of all; old, young, tall, short, disabled, and non-disabled. Words like "barrier free" and "ergonomic" have become part of design vocabulary and reflect our pursuit of a healthier, more comfortable life style.

Designing for accessibility considers the individuals who will actually be living in a home or apartment and customizes the kitchen, bath or entry to fit the users.

If planned properly, with accessibility in mind, a renovation need not cost more than a traditional redo. Nor is it necessary to compromise on style in a user friendly room.

In addition to changes made for those with mobility impairment, vision loss, hearing loss or even cognitive or developmental disabilities can be accommodated. Everyone's home can be safe and comfortable. What's more, businesses catering to the disability community have exploded. From homebuilders to cabinetmakers, manufacturers of kitchen appliances to bathroom fixtures, they all offer adapted versions of their regular products.
