This is a really interesting thread as we are currently in the process of building a new house and incorporating all the modifications we will need as our son's duchenne progresses. Danelle, you have given me plenty of food for thought - your ideas are really worth putting into our plans. Also, we have no choice but to build a 2-storey house and are wondering if we should put James on the top floor (with a lift) or the ground floor. Either way, he will have his own purpose-built ensuite. We have 3 other children and they will all have their own rooms on the top floor, so maybe James should also be up there so he doesn't feel left out. However, I'm wondering which would practically be the best solution.
Hi we are also looking to move to or build a more suitable home. We are looking at one house but it only has a single car garage that is 16 feet wide. Is this enough room to fit a van and still have room for the wheelchair lift?
My son is 4 but we don't want to find out when the time comes that the garage won't work for us.
When it comes to the Bathroom what makes more sense to have?
A roll in Shower with a seat or a bathtub?
I am getting ready to build and my son is currently 4 years old. Should we install a Shower or a tub or a shower first than a tub when we need it.
Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks
We are taking this summer to investigate what modifications our home would need for our son, Jared. It is day 1 and I am already frustrated! MDA gave me some contacts, and I am waiting on responses. I could figure out general stuff if we were building the home from scratch, but we built our house two years before we knew Jared's diagnosis, and it is so NOT accessible. I feel like I need to find a builder experienced in such modifications-- to know what can be done to our home now. Any suggestions from the Grand Rapids, MI area?
I would suggest the roll in shower. We added a bedroom onto our house for our son with his own toilet, sink and shower. The roll in shower was the best thing we could have done for him.
