How to Make Your Home Power Wheelchair Accessible

Make Doorways Accessible for Motorized Wheelchairs

Place Wheelchair Ramps Over Thresholds

Rubber threshold ramps are simple to set up. They don’t slip and cost little. These ramps help electric wheelchairs roll over doorsteps or small steps safely. They work great in older homes where floors change height at doorways. Ramps are a quick, easy fix to boost accessibility.

Widen Door Frames

Electric wheelchairs need enough space to pass through doorways. Most home doors are 28 to 30 inches wide. But power wheelchairs often need at least 32 inches. If a door is too narrow, a small home update might be needed. Sometimes, just taking off the door frame does the trick.

Remove Doorsteps

Taking out doorsteps lets a motorized wheelchair glide through easily. Even tiny steps can block users. Also, fixing uneven floors in the house helps a lot.

Install a Lowered Peephole

A peephole at the right height is key for someone in a power wheelchair. It lets them check who’s at the door without help. This boosts safety and freedom.

Choose Flooring That’s Power Wheelchair Accessible

Ditch the Carpet

Hard floors make it way easier to move a power wheelchair or walker. Thick rugs or carpets can slow things down. They’re also a tripping risk for everyone.

Wheelchair Accessible Flooring Options

Hardwood floors look nice and last a long time. They’re a solid pick for a wheelchair-friendly home. Laminate floors are tough too, and scratches come off easily. Ceramic tiles work well in kitchens and bathrooms. They handle water and let wheelchairs roll smoothly.

Electric Wheelchair Accessible Bathrooms

Provide Ample Space for Turning

The bathroom needs enough room for a power wheelchair to spin a full 360 degrees. This might mean moving fixtures or making the room bigger.

Install Hand Rails

Put hand rails around the toilet. They make moving from the wheelchair to the toilet safer and easier. Strong grab bars help stop falls during transfers.

Install a Low Standing Sink

A low sink lets a power wheelchair user reach the faucet easily. The sink can be set at the right height for the person. Make sure there’s space under the sink for knees so the user can roll up close.

Accessible Kitchens for Motorized Wheelchair Users

Provide Plenty of Space for Turning

The kitchen should have room for a wheelchair to turn all the way around. This might need an open layout or moving counters and islands.

Low Work Surfaces

Counters and the kitchen sink should be easy to reach from a wheelchair’s height. They can be adjusted to fit the user’s needs.

Place Appliances in Lower Areas

Pick appliances like stoves, dishwashers, or microwaves that open to the side or front. Place them low so they’re easy to reach.

Utilize Lower Cabinet Space

Cabinets starting at floor level are much easier for wheelchair users. Pull-out drawers and spinning shelves make them even handier.
