Bed and Breakfast Inns
with Handicap Accessibility
Access for people with disabilities is not just a good idea-it's the law. The Americans with Disabilities Act, or ADA, mandates that public facilities provide equal access for all citizens regardless of disability status, and an increasing number of bed and breakfasts provide accessible facilities for people with disabilities.
Examples of the range of accommodations available at bed and breakfasts that provide disabled access include roll-in showers with hand-held shower heads, ground floor rooms with no steps or sills, elevators and ramps, extended drapery rod pulls, wheelchair height closet rods and lowered light switches, and extra-wide doorways with lever handles on doors. Unnecessary furniture can be removed upon request. Wheelchair accessible restrooms should have a handrail, and room for a wheelchair to park next to the toilet for a lateral transfer, with a lowered seat height. For people with hearing impairment, closed caption TV, and smoke alarms and telephones with flashing indicator lights are ideal. Dining rooms that cater to special dietary needs and offer menus with large print also help make bed and breakfast stays more accessible to travelers with disabilities.
People with disabilities make up 20% of our population, and that number will grow as more baby boomers reach retirement age. Unintended barriers that people with disabilities and disabled travelers face every day can limit travel options. Lack of information is one barrier that Lanierbb.com can eliminate-search our database for bed and breakfast lodging designed to make travel easier for disabled travelers from around the globe.
