Lovely and Easily Accessible Homes in Roseville CA

If your home has accessible options like grab bars be sure to put them in the MLS description

Roseville CA is a terrific place to live. That's true for all, including those dealing with disabilities. Some of the areas I deal with the most are aging in place options like easily accessible homes with zero step entry, wider doors and entry ways for wheelchairs and walkers, grab bars in showers as well as easy entry baths, etc. I especially appreciate single stories as it's easier for my senior mom and other elderly seniors to deal with. Though I must admit, I do miss the calorie-fighting attributes that come from running up and down the stairs so I do it as often as possible when … Continue reading...
