Barrier Free Home - Wheelchair-Accessible Homes

This 3 bedroom, 2200 sq. ft. home was built in 1995 and consists of eight rooms all on one level. Its open floor plan provides a spacious feeling in this modest-sized home. This home was specifically designed by the disabled homeowner to allow for easy wheelchair accessibility. A gently inclined sidewalk provides easy accessibility to the main entrance. A long ramp provides rear access via the sunroom or spacious wood deck. Powered door openers make entry/exit a breeze. A ceiling mounted lift system in the master bath and bedroom aids a disabled person having severe mobility limitations with seat-to-seat transfers. Once lifted, the system travels along a horseshoe shaped track transporting the person from/to the bed, commode, shower and wheelchair. A home security and emergency medical alarm system is included. When an alarm is tripped communication with central monitoring station is established. Should there be a forced intrusion, fire or true medical emergency, the monitoring station will respond by sending police, fire or assistance. A high-tech home automation system provides for real-time control of items such as lights, appliances, A/V equipment, window blinds, environmental controls, ceiling fans, and the overhead garage door through a PC Interface, the household telephone line or your TV remote. Customized schedules or macros can be programmed to make everyday tasks or routines easier and enable a person to become more efficient and independent. As an example of such a macro, consider that with this home automation system you could establish a 'goodnight button' which, when pushed, would turn off any lights, put out the gas fireplace, lower the window blinds, make sure the overhead garage door is down, adjust the thermostat setting, turn on the ceiling fan, and set the home security alarm system. The possibilities are endless.
