Corporates to build friendly homes for elderly and disabled
Big corporates have seemed to put emphasis on making their new projects accessible, comfortable and user-friendly for the elderly and the handicapped people.
Ansal Unitech, DLF, Tata Housing, SVP Developers are designing their residential, even commercial buildings imbibed with barrier-free design with easy and convenient passage to different sections of the home in order to make them convenient for the elderly people.
Experts are of the opinion that the architects can play a pivotal role in this regard as they can provide advice on basic details like well-ventilated rooms with windows with easy-to-handle shutters and curtain strings, the placement of the switches to operate lights, fans and other appliances, etc.
Likewise to make the house obstruction-free for the disabled members of the family space should be maintained to fit in wheelchairs into lifts and bathrooms. It is indeed a welcome shift of interest where needs of the elderly and disabled are being taken into consideration.
