Home is where the heart is... and the adaptive equipment, and the barrier-free features, and the ramps and the elevators, and...! The place where we live should be the place where we feel safe, secure and comfortable. That's why it's important for people with disabilities to have homes that are as accessible and accommodating as possible.
