As the population ages and more people are living with physical disabilities, housing and community development must be re-examined. Inaccessible homes impede the daily lives of people who are mobility impaired due to illness, accident or age. Visitors to an inaccessible home face the danger of falling on the entry steps, the visitworry of not fitting into a bathroom and the embarrassment of being carried upstairs. An affordable, sustainable and inclusive design approach for integrating basic accessibility features into all newly built homes is a movement known as Visitability.
