The house plans on this page have been specially designed to accommodate people of all ages, genders, sizes and physical abilities. Wide doors and hallways, generously sized bathrooms, staggered height kitchen countertops, no-sill entries, wheelchair ramps, residential elevators, and large covered porches are some of the notable features that make these houses accessible to a large segment of the population. The universal design elements incorporated into these plans should afford homeowners the opportunity to remain active and healthy in their own homes long into their senior years.

To learn more about universal design and home modifications, which can make almost any house more accessible to the elderly or disabled, click here. With a few simple alterations, you might be able to make your home a safer, more comfortable, and more convenient place to live.
