A universally designed home is usable by everyone—young, old, healthy, ill, athletic, disabled. It’s future-readied because it doesn’t require retrofitting should someone’s situation change.

Key elements to consider in Universal Design:

No-step entries: eliminating steps and thresholds into the home, throughout the home, even in showers or tubs

Width of doorways and passages: creating egresses that are ample to comfortably accommodate a wheelchair of walker

Counter heights: installing counters at levels that are reasonable for a variety of people/circumstances

Non-slip surfaces – selecting flooring and surfaces that are non-skid for maximum safety

Reachable lever handles: installing lever handles that are functional and reachable for everyone

Lighting: including generous, effective lighting throughout the space
