Physical impairments originate from many different problems aging, accidents, diseases, natural problems from birth. Each individual must address their particular needs in buying a home. A general rule is impossible that will meet all requirements of an individual that has special needs. In most cases a new home may be designed exclusively for an individual; or if only one individual in a family has special needs, we can design an area of the home that will accommodate that person. The list below shows some of the special ways a home can be modified to meet any impairment. We can offer most of these modifications in our Affordable Custom Homes (From $200,000) or Design-Built Custom Homes (From $500,000) in any of our communities or on your lot. Most of the modifications can be accomplished inexpensively because they are planned as an integral part of the house; so that there is not the expense of retrofitting. Our Housing Consultant can help you with suggestions if you will inform them of your Special Needs.
