Webinar: VisitAble Housing for Age-Friendly Communities
VisitAble Housing
“VisitAble Housing” or “VisitAbility” is the concept of designing and building homes with basic accessibility. VisitAble Housing offers a convenient home for residents and a welcoming environment for visitors of all ages and mobility. VisitAble homes have three basic accessibility features:
1. No-step entrance (at the front, back or side of the house).
2. Wider doorways and clear passage on the main floor.
3. A main floor bathroom (or powder room) that can be accessed by residents and visitors who use mobility devices.
Purpose and Content of the Webinar
VisitAble housing is already common in England and many jurisdictions in the United States, but it is still a new concept for many people in Canada. VisitAble Housing is in line with the inclusive philosophies and practices of Age-Friendly Communities. This webinar is intended to inform Age-Friendly Communities in Canada of ways to make their community more inclusive by promoting VisitAble Housing.
This webinar contains:
– Introduction to VisitAble Housing
