Visitability– Making ALL new homes visitable, not just “special homes”. Being at the party, the meeting, the family reunion…not isolated.  Three essentials that must become the default in home construction practice: 1. One zero step entrance, at the front, back, or side of the house; 2. All main floor doors, including bathrooms, with at least 32 inches of clear passage space; and 3. At least half a bath, preferably a full bath, on the main floor.

Beautiful Space Available for Your Next Meeting Call 205-251-2223

“A wonderful place to host a meeting. Not only do they have a beautiful conference room with an abundance of natural light, it naturally showcases the importance of making sure each workplace is equipped for those who face a disability…The staff was always professional and willing to do whatever necessary to ensure our meeting would be a success.”
