Do you want a more accessible kitchen? Are you held back by the belief that creating one would be a costly hassle? Here at Orthopedic Service Company, we hear that from a lot of clients. And, after they’ve taken our advice, we also hear how easy they found the actual process. In Durham, NC, ADA certified wheelchair accessible roll up kitchen designs are achievable. More than that, they’re also easier to achieve than you might expect, especially with us on your side.

Remove Barriers and Obstructions

When it comes to creating an ADA certified handicap accessible roll up kitchen, Durham NC homeowners are encouraged to work with what they’ve got! If you already have a nice kitchen, you don’t always have to completely overhaul it to make it more accessible. Instead, a few simple changes can make all the difference. 

One major but easy-to-achieve change, for example, is removing any and all barriers that would make it difficult for a wheelchair user or handicapped person to maneuver around the kitchen. 

Not sure if you have barriers in your kitchen or how to remove them? That’s where we come in! We offer free in-home assessments and can provide invaluable advice on how to make your kitchen more accessible without making huge or expensive changes.

Create An Accessible Workspace

In any kitchen, including an ADA certified wheelchair accessible roll up kitchen in Durham, NC, a nice workspace is vital. After all, where else are you going to chop up vegetables or plate your meals? Those with mobility issues need a workspace that they can easily reach and that’s at least 30 inches wide. 

And, just as it’s easy to remove obstructions, it’s also easy to add in or change up a workspace to suit a handicapped person’s needs. We can go over your options with you and help you decide what would work best for your kitchen.

Put Everything Within Easy Reach

Finally, ADA compliant kitchens should make it so that everything is within easy reach of the handicapped person. For wheelchair users, this often means lowering cabinets, drawer handles, and other objects.

As is the case with most of the changes we’ve mentioned, however, this does not have to be difficult, at least not with our help.
