Why think about Access?
A house is really just a tool. It performs certain fuctions and it requires certain abilities to be able to use it. Traditionally, homes are built for able bodied people who can reach, bend, balance, climb, see and hear. At Home Access Solutions, we believe that homes should be places of independece and safety, not a place full of barriers and danger.
Our homes provide shelter, a place to take care of ourselves and others, and financial security. You can accomplish more when your home environment supports your abilities. The right choices of equipment and/or structural changes can remove or reduce barriers in your home.
Who should consider accessible or universal design features?
There is no clear division between "able-bodied" and "dis-abled," and a human being's abilities are ever changing through all the stages of life. It makes sense to invest in home environments that would not create barriers to independence for you now or in the future.
If you are currently having difficulty doing every day things at home with as much dignity, safety, and independence as possible, or you want to insure you spend your remodeling or new home design money wisely on a place that will be flexible enough to accommodate any changes that may occur in your life, you should consider a well thought out accessibility plan or adding universal design feature to both remodeling and new construction.
Why use a professional accessibility planner?
Residential accessibility is not "one size fits all." It is possible to spend money on equipment and remodeling that will work for some people, but not for you or the home that you live in.
An accessibility planner specializes in identifying the affect a person's vision, movement, hearing, thinking, etc. has on thier ability to safely do what they want to do in their home. They have the skills to determine what is causing the problems and knowlege to match potential solutions to both the individuals' abilities and the environment they are living in.
A planner with a broad range of experience and knowledge can provide a variety of solutions from simple to complex, equipment to do structural modifications and sometmes combinations of the two. She will have access to many resources so she can better provide her clients with choices. She can help accurately provide instructions to contractors who build or remodel to make sure that what is planned is what is actually produced.
