How can I make my home more accessible for guests with disabilities or mobility issues?

1. Install ramps: Installing a ramp at the entrance to your home will make it easier for people using wheelchairs or mobility aids to access your home.

2. Widen doorways: If the doorways in your home are too narrow for wheelchairs or mobility aids to pass through, consider widening them to ensure adequate clearance.

3. Create level flooring: It’s important to create level flooring throughout your home to make it easy for guests to move around without tripping or stumbling.

4. Install grab bars: Grab bars in the bathroom, bedroom, and around the home can provide support for people with mobility issues.

5. Lower countertop heights: Lowering the height of countertops in the kitchen and bathroom can make them easily accessible for people using wheelchairs or mobility aids.

6. Add a shower seat: Adding a seat in the shower can make it easier for guests with disabilities or mobility issues to shower safely.

7. Install lever handles: Lever handles on doors and faucets are easier to use than traditional knobs.

8. Declutter the home: Removing excess furniture and other clutter around the home can make it easier for people with mobility issues to move around without tripping or stumbling.
