Comfortable home without extra steps: how to check all the way

Accessibility starts at the road and continues to the bathroom, kitchen and balcony.

Route from the street

Trace the route from the parking lot or drop-off location to the entrance, elevator, and apartment. Pay attention to thresholds, heavy doors and slopes. The presence of a ramp at the facade does not mean that the entire chain of movement is convenient.

Inside the apartment

Evaluate the width of aisles, turns, and door openings. For the bathroom, free space and arrangement of equipment are especially important. Convenience is determined by the specific needs of a person; It is impossible to make a universal conclusion based on one area of the room.

Daily services

Check the path to the store, recreation area and maintenance services. It is helpful to go through it with the future resident or a professional who understands their needs. Changes to layout and equipment are discussed separately after checking the acceptability and actual dimensions.
