Handicapped Friendly


The meaning of “handicapped friendly” in the Residential Housing Input Sheet is misunderstood by most agents. It doesn’t mean just a ramp for accessibility. It means things like 36 inch doorways, properly placed handrails, roll-in showers with levers instead of knobs, windows with cranks at 32 inches, minimum 48 inch hallways, light switches at 32 inches, proper flooring, doors with levers instead of knobs, roll under sinks and lower cabinets. These are just a few of the things that make a handicapped friendly home. And for the buyer, it really depends on their disability.
