- ADA – ADA STANDARDS FOR ACCESSIBLE DESIGN. On March 15, 2012, compliance with the 2010 Standards will be required for new construction and alterations. In the period between September 15, 2010 and March 15, 2012, covered entities may choose between the 1991 Standards (without the elevator exemption for Title II facilities), the Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (Title II facilities only), and the 2010 Standards.
- Can furniture in the unit be moved around to suit your needs? is the room ADA Compliant
- Some units can be too small inside to get around with a wheelchair, others have a lot more space and furniture can be moved around. Just because the wheelchair can arrive at the unit door, does not mean the room would be sufficient for use by loved ones and the family member in the wheelchair. You Should always check to be sure Wheelchair accessible resort.
