Access Tip:

Install pull-out shelves and drawers with full extension tracks in kitchen cabinets and pantry spaces to make everyday items easier to see, reach, and use. Traditional cabinets often require people to bend, kneel, or reach deep into dark spaces to access items stored in the back. Pull-out shelves bring the contents of the cabinet out to the user. For people who use wheelchairs, walkers, or other mobility devices, pull-out shelving can significantly improve independence by reducing the need to reach into inaccessible spaces.

Location: 1725 E 115th St (Cotman Vistas) Cleveland OH 44106. Coming from Euclid, we are the first driveway on the right. Parking is available in the back lot. After you park, come to the main entryway and follow the signs.

Accessibility Tip: Lever door handles.

Independence can mean a lot of things, but for many people, being able to come and go as you please is at the top of the list. Imagine not being able to enter or leave your home when you need to, simply because of an inaccessible doorknob.

Lever door handles are a simple, low-cost alternative to traditional k***s that require grip strength or twisting. They are easier to use for people with limited mobility or arthritis.

They also make everyday tasks easier for everyone. Think about opening a door while carrying groceries or holding a child.

Features like lever handles are often thought of as “accessibility features,” but they actually improve usability for everyone.

If you want to see more accessibility features in action and how they can be used in your home or a loved one's home, we invite you to visit our Accessibility First Demonstration Unit. Call 216-231-7221 or email: [email protected] to learn more.
