Habinteg's Design Guide is the only practical manual available that covers all the requirements for Lifetime Homes and offers guidance on wheelchair housing design.
This is not "special needs" housing for the minority. 42% of social housing households have a member with a disability or limiting long-term illness (MORI/Housing Corporation 2001). Reduced physical ability increases with age and by 2031 it is estimated that 25% of the population will be over 65 (National Statistics Social Trends 2003). Building to accessibility standards is becoming a social imperative, an issue that must be addressed by housing providers now.
The Design Guide costs £30 plus £2.50 postage and packing. To order a copy, please email us, download and complete our order form, or buy online
