Over 100 Ways To Improve Access At Home

Author: Queensland Dept of Housing,
Year: 2004
Type: Web Page

Abstract:

Many Queenslanders find it difficult or sometimes even impossible to enter, get around or use some of the features in their home. Homes with steps, narrow passageways, internal stairs and small bathrooms can prevent people from living safely and independently. These features can also make it difficult for them to visit the homes of family or friends and can affect their quality of life. This booklet includes tips for overcoming some of the barriers found in housing, such as steps and hard to grip door knobs. Information is also provided on organisations that can provide further assistance.
