Handicap-accessible house plans are designed to make homes more functional and safe for individuals with disabilities or aging in place. Typically designed with an open floor plan, these homes often include features such as ramps, wider doorways and hallways, and lower countertops to accommodate walkers, wheelchairs, and other mobility devices. Our house plans can be modified to meet the desired specifications of the homeowners.

Opening up the main living areas in a floor plan and removing unnecessary boundaries allows residents to access different sections of the home easily. At the same time, single-story floor plans or main-floor primary suites remove the need for climbing stairs. Other features to consider in house plans for aging in place and for those with disabilities include a no-step entry, a laundry room on the main level, lever-style faucets and door handles, accessible light switches, a walk-in shower with a bench, and accessible parking.

It's important to note that accessibility features in house plans will vary depending on the needs of the individual, and a professional can guide you in modifying the floor plans to meet those specific needs. At The Plan Collection, we can help you get started.
