Accessible Home‘s Rosette display house in Melbourne’s north is a three-bedroom single level house and what sets this property apart is that it is designed to meet the needs of disabled Australians.

The wide hallway allows for wheelchairs to move around easily in the single-level home.   The company has recently launched single-level homes with features such as solid wood floors, wide door frames, raised toilet seats, rails in the bathroom placed on reinforced walls, room to fit a wheelchair under sinks, a large garage, different bench heights in the kitchen, a lower height oven, a fold down iron board and light switches which operate on a gentle touch. Video: More options for older Australians The garden is low maintenance with room and paths for a wheelchair. These subtle features can suit a range of mobility requirements and can be adjusted to suit individual needs, from those with a child with disabilities to older people with mobility issues who want to live independently at home. Despite these many unique features, the company’s two, three and four-bedroom houses don’t look all that different from a regular new home. “Not everything is obvious, which is good because people want to live in a nice normal house,” says Accessible Homes owner and designer Stewart Johnson.

Johnson says he came to appreciate how hard it is for disabled Australians to live independently when he was briefly confined to a wheelchair following several car accidents.buy helinox chair It buys time, I suppose to be independent, to live in a home.beach chair rentals kona hi He says this combined with the need to look after his ageing parents made him re-think what kind of housing is best suited to older Australians and those with mobility issues.cosatto high chair very “I can appreciate how scary it would be for them at that age. bean bag chair crate and barrelYou’re probably struggling to get through a day. chairs for sale in jeddah

But when they’re (older Australians) trying to get their partners into the old-fashioned toilet or shower at home or up and down the stairs from the car, it just must be a nightmare.  bean bag chairs asdaWhat it (an Accessible Home) does is, it buys time, I suppose to be independent, to live in a home.” There is a fold-down ironing board in the laundry.   “We all know that next step is higher level care which quite often breaks up partnerships between husbands and wives and the like, which is sad.  I’ve watched my parents do that, and it is really quite sad. It breaks their heart,” he says. How to : Survive multi-generation living The company’s designs for the three-bedroom home can be built for around $295,000 fully finished on a block of land that a buyer has or on a new estate. The company estimates a new build will take 18 months. Developing and creating homes designed to suit these needs from day one is a much-needed innovation, according to Yooralla’s Chief Practioner Rod Carracher.

“In terms of general home design, I think what Accessible Homes are doing is really unique,” he says. The rails in the bathroom can be suit a range of different needs.  Adapting a home to meet the unique needs of a disabled or elderly family members can be a pricey process. “Retro-fitting costs can be quite expensive.  It depends on the individual needs, but it can run into hundreds of thousands of dollars to change hallway widths and change bathroom designs.” “Changing a conventional bathroom and retro-fitting it to disabled specifications, can be $20-$25,000 for a single room,” Carracher says. at a new location in Braybook in Melbourne to offer everyday Australians more information on the kinds of household products and living options now available for those who have a disability. “Overall it’s important that building design starts to move this way. The cost of retro fitting older buildings is prohibitive,” Carracher says. Adult children of those with increasing mobility issues or those concerned they are moving too far way from mum and dad are most likely to be attracted to this kind of housing, Johnson says.

The carpeted master bedroom leads to the walk-in-robe and ensuite.   This could include both those who want to knock down their current home and build something more practical while selling off part of the family block, and those who sell their homes and build an Accessible Home on a new estate near their adult children. “Quite often the next generation is helping too, their kids are ultimately the ones guiding them through that (process).  They’re the clever ones planning ahead.  When you get to a certain stage, you’ve left it too late because we can’t always predict when someone is going to get sick,” Johnson says. The kitchen includes room under the sink for a wheelchair.   Placing Accessible Homes in regular neighbourhoods will help Australians remain independent and improve the mental health and quality of living for older people, he says. “It’s a great situation you can get into where grandparents can contribute to a bit of babysitting and get to know their grandchildren as they are ageing and the (adult) children can keep an eye on them,” says Johnson.

All of the rooms are wide enough to accommodate a wheelchair.   Johnson says in the years to come more middle age Australians will find themselves caring for or arranging care for older parents and houses like his could give families more time together. “I’d like to see governments support it, in that it’s keeping people at home. If you can keep people at home then you are leaving them out of those very expensive facilities and hospitals that we know just aren’t working at the moment… if we can keep them at home it’s better for their health and financial situation,” he says. While this housing product is currently available in Melbourne’s north, Accessible Homes hasn’t ruled out building their disabled friendly homes in other parts of the country. “We are open to discussions.  I don’t think there’s a solid no to anything.  We’d discuss it and go from there,” says agent Jason Sassine of Jason Real Estate who represents the company to potential buyers.
