We all love to make our homes as comfortable for ourselves as possible. When we come back from work, for example, we like to unwind and destress. For many of us, spending time in the kitchen can be therapeutic. Even taking a nice, warm shower can help us relax. These days, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, for many of us our homes have also become our office. We are spending more time at home and would want everything to be a lot more convenient for all members of the household throughout the day. Unfortunately, all aspects of a house are built keeping in mind the typical able bodied person. Can someone in a wheelchair reach the top cabinet in a kitchen? Is a countertop low enough for them to comfortably prepare food? Can a person with impaired mobility reach the wash basin without the fear of falling?
