I live in the same house I bought when I was in my mid-thirties. My intention is to retire in that same house, and now that I am twenty years older than I was when I bought the house, I am beginning to think more about making some necessary ADA compliant upgrades. For example, there may come a time when I need to use a wheelchair. Even though my house is not a public building, and therefore isn’t required to have the same kinds of ADA compliant upgrades, there is nothing wrong with having them in a residence. If I do need to use a wheelchair, some ADA compliant upgrades that would be helpful would involve being able to get into the bathroom and also maneuver around enough with a wheelchair to be able to use the bathroom. Also, in some public buildings, they simply have wider door frames for wheelchairs. I could make that ADA compliant upgrade to my house just in case I need to use a wheelchair. Also, I have a few steps that must be ascended and descended at the front door. What is to stop me from drawing from other people’s ADA compliant upgrades and putting in some ramps next to the stairs or simply replacing the steps with a ramp? I found out through my brother who made some ADA compliant upgrades to his house that the most popular change renovators are seeing is people putting in ADA compliant toilets in their bathrooms. I think that is a good idea; they are not much different than any other toilet, but they just sit taller up off the floor.
