ADA-Compliant Faucets for the Home
Creating a more accommodating and less stressful living environment for individuals with physical limitations and their caregivers can be achieved through a few modifications within the home. The implementation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in 1990 emphasizes the importance of accessibility for all individuals. In line with this spirit, home versions of bathroom faucets and accessories that meet the same requirements and accommodations as those found in public buildings are now readily available for those with physical limitations.
When considering modifications or additions for individuals with disabilities, a simple yet impactful starting point is ensuring accessibility to water sources in the kitchen and bathroom. ADA-compliant water faucets designed for residential use are strategically positioned for easier reach, and their lever handles require less force to operate compared to standard faucets.
