Essential "Lifestyle" Touch points:
|
Wider parking areas and
pathways, Low-grade ramps, covered areas,
and optimum night lighting enable better
transition to and from the outdoors in
all weather conditions and at various
times of day.
Entries, stairs, doorways, and halls require
special attention to minimize common width
and height impediments so that access
is not restricted. Surfaces and doors
should be easy to navigate through and
around.
Indoor and outdoor lift
mechanisms such as stair glides and elevators
allow for easy transition from space to
space. |
|
Open concepts allow for greatest rage
of mobility in and around cupboards and
appliances. Work areas must enable wheel
under access, follow for surface pull-outs
and easy-glide drawers. Selection of handles
and placement of control panels should
less reach.
Space needs to be maximized to allow for
turning and use of sink, toilet and tub/shower.
All fixtures and grab bards need to be
carefully selected and strategically installed
to promote safety and independence.
Non-slip surfaces reduce hazards. Dense
materials offer greater support and stability
when either stationary of moving. |

Mechanisms should
be easy to open and close. Power-assist
devices are possible. Access should not
be hindered.
Front-loading appliances
and adjusted heights of work spaces minimize
impediments to use.
Alarms provide peace of mind. Intercoms
and viewing holes offer added security
and communication.
Non-slip decks, retractable
awnings, and see through railings help
visibility and stability. |
