Wheelchair-adapted properties
Wheelchair-adapted properties are homes that have been specially adapted for people with physical disabilities. Some are purpose-built while others have been adapted to suit the individual needs of a tenant.
Wheelchair-standard housing
This type of housing is specifically built or adapted for permanent wheelchair users. Features include:
- self-contained houses or flats located on the ground floor
- wider doorways and passages to allow wheelchair users to move around comfortably
- walk-in showers with built-in seating in some bathrooms, and others that have baths with hoists that allow the user to be lowered into the bath
- kitchen units that are lower for easy access and electrical switches and sockets that are within easy reach
- lifts in some adapted houses, giving the wheelchair user the freedom to move around their home.
