Most bathrooms were designed for people who are comfortably moving around on two feet. But that’s changing. In 1990 the American Disabilities Act (ADA) developed guidelines to accommodate physically challenged people in public facilities and businesses. As more and more people decide to live out their lives at home, ADA bathroom rules are spilling over into residential design. If you’re caring for someone who uses a wheelchair or you use a wheelchair yourself, keep these guidelines in mind when remodeling the bathroom.
