What is an accessible home?

Accessbathroom

It is where a home has been changed just for you so that it is easy to move in and out and around.

Here are some of the changes that may be made.

Having a slope or flat entrance rather than steps into the house from where you park a car.

Having a bathroom or toilet on the ground floor.

Putting a lift into the house if there is an upstairs.

Making sure there are no steps in the home from one room to another.

Off-street parking

Remember – all of these things have to be done for the home to be called ‘Accessible’.
