EASY COME, EASY GO — Cont’d from page 34
“When we visited the show home and saw the features, we thought it was good for us. Both of us liked the features because there’s no stairs in the garage to get into the home. It’s much better when you have little ones and you have to carry them.” It’s also easier to bring groceries inside or push a stroller in and out, he adds. Visitable homes have three basic requirements — a gentle slope/grade to at least one no-step entry, wide main-floor hallways and doorways and an accessible bathroom on the main floor. The Wangs (not pictured here) built a two-storey house with an open floorplan and an accessible bathroom on the main floor. While a main-floor bedroom isn’t a requirement of a visitable home, they built one to make it more convenient when their parents come for a long stay. Ray says his mother-in-law gave the house the thumbs up. “She really likes it,” he says. “She likes to do grocery shopping by herself and then it’s very easy for her to access the new house versus our old one, especially in the winter. “When there’s stairs, it can be very icy if you don’t clean it that well. Now we don’t really have issues.”
