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.
