How to Implement ADA Requirements in Your Home — And Why We Go Beyond Them

by | Feb 28, 2026 | Aging in Place

When preparing a home for aging in place or accommodating mobility challenges, many families ask:

What ADA standards should we follow?

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) provides important guidelines for accessibility — including:
✔ 32” minimum door widths
✔ 36” hallway clearance
✔ 30” x 48” wheelchair floor space
✔ Proper sink and countertop heights
✔ Grab bars and handrails
✔ Lever-style handles

But at Accessible Living Atlanta, we don’t just “meet code.”
We design homes that promote true independence, dignity, and long-term safety.

For over 20 years, we’ve specialized in:

  • Barrier-free and zero-threshold showers
  • Wheelchair-accessible kitchens
  • Custom ramps and entry modifications
  • Grab bar and safety installations
  • Whole-home accessibility audits
  • Universal design solutions

ADA guidelines are the starting point.
We carry that theme through everything we do — creating homes that are safer, more convenient, and built for real life.

If you or a loved one is planning ahead, now is the time to evaluate your home.
