Universal design in Bend?

I feel universal design for single family homes is overlooked in Bend today. What an under-served market, especially when the boomers are getting older. I met with Susan Duncan with The ABC’s of Accessibility, Inc. at a home that was designed and built in 2008 for a gentleman in a wheelchair.

I found homes can easily be designed and built for the same cost as a normal single level home with no accessibility features.

Picked up The Visualizer Set and got to work on a few designs. Great tool.
