Mom was coming home from rehab and this family needed a bathroom where assisted bathing could be performed. An interior wall was moved one foot into the bedroom to enlarge the shower. The shower was made step-free. A knee space was created under the sink. A bidet seat was installed on a new comfort height toilet (adding an outlet within two feet of the toilet was neccessary). From the three remodeling companies bidding apples to apples, WAO Builders was selected and Bill did a great job.

A knee space was created under the new vanity sink with tilt mirror. Some cabinets have magnetic locks.

This family needed a kitchen that everyone could use, Mom, Dad and Daughter. Wheelchair use by one family member created a need for multiple countertop heights. So, the sink and cooktop counters are on lifts - they move up and down to accomodate the user.

Entire kitchen was opened up by removal of a coat closet (left side) and peninsula cabinet. Kitchen ease of use features include: side opening oven with adjacent pull-out shelf, roll-under sink and cooktop, raised dishwasher, cabinet inserts for ease of access, increased lighting with task light over sink. 

This project was featured at the NAIPC event in October 2012.
