Planning Home Access for the Long Term
Think ahead
Planning for an elevator during a build or remodel can be simpler than retrofitting later.
Stacked closets
Framing stacked closets during construction can leave room for a future shaft.
Talk to professionals
Occupational therapists, builders, and installers each bring a different view. We do not give medical advice.
Entry access
Platform lifts or ramps at the entry are often part of the plan.
