A daughter chose to care for her aging mother and needed a safe environment in which to live. There was a large room adjacent the garage that was under utilized and provided the ideal size to convert into a fully accessible one bedroom one bath suite for her mother. This unit is a converted room inside the existing home, keeping the garage in service. The room was converted into an Accessible Dwelling Unit (ADU) to enhance both functionality and livability. An accessible ADU is designed to accommodate individuals with mobility challenges, ensuring that they can live independently and comfortably.
Key Features of an Accessible ADU:
Open Floor Plan: A spacious layout minimizes obstacles and provides ease of movement for residents and visitors.
Accessible Kitchen: Lower countertops and cabinets can enhance usability. Consider pull-out shelves or drawers to reduce reaching and bending.
Bathroom: A roll-in shower, grab bars, and a shower seat can significantly improve safety and accessibility. Ensure that the toilet is at an appropriate height for easier use.
Benefits of Accessible ADUs
Increased Independence: An accessible ADU promotes self-sufficiency for individuals aging in place.
