Home Modifications for Wheelchair Users
Entries, doorways, bathrooms and kitchens — key changes and how to plan them.
Step-free entry
A ramp, lift or regraded walkway to at least one entrance is the foundation.
Clearances
Doorways of 32–36 inches and turning space of roughly 5 feet in key rooms make movement comfortable.
Reach and knee space
Lower counters, side-opening ovens and pull-out storage keep kitchens fully usable.
