Homes that are wheelchair accessible

Finding just the right home is often a challenge. Location, amenities, bedrooms, floor plan are all conditions of choosing the right home. Now add to the list wheelchair accessible and the list suddenly gets very small. Wider hallways and doorways are beginning points.

How about access to the home from the garage and the front door? In our area typically there are two steps into the house from the garage and front door. This is not exactly wheelchair friendly. Once inside the home other factors to consider are the following: wider hallways, wheelchair counters, showers with a turn radius for a wheelchair, roll-in showers, elevators for homes with multiple levels, garages that will accommodate vans with lift gates, and the list goes on. How do I make my home wheelchair accessible?  The link provides some practical steps you can take to accommodate your home. If you are looking for a home in the greater lake country area that is wheelchair accessible ask your Realtor for assistance. You can also visit this link Hartland Home for a home that is wheelchair accessible with an elevator, roll-around shower, wheelchair counters and more. I also have a condo in Merton with a 3.5 car garage and "No-Step" entry from the garage and front door.
