Aging in place and accessibility - Always worth consideration

Considering that people age and accidents happen it is possible that at some point there will be an issue within a home that reduces a person’s mobility. When this occurs it is likely individuals can find themselves dependent upon the use of a wheelchair, walker or scooter device. 

As people age, the simple act of maneuvering around the home becomes trickier. Often times these are the points in life that it is realized the space within the home and accesses in and out of the home are compromised and need to be updated.

It is rare that a home is built with the limitations handicaps and aging in place bring. Most traditional builders do not build with the foresight that narrow doors and an abundance of stairs might eventually be difficult for maneuverability. Builders don’t build with questions such as “How would I access this narrow door?” or “How would I access this stairway?” with the same thinking as someone with a handicap or some years under their belt. Consumers don’t often purchase homes thinking about the golden years or the accessibility issues accidents can bring.
