Disabling by design
Author(s)Gwen Crawford, Mark Foord
Journal titleHousing Review, vol 46, no 5, September-October 1997
Pagespp 98-100
KeywordsArchitectural design [housing [elderly]] ; Physical disabilities ; Adaption.
AnnotationThe authors explore the problems of adapting homes to meet disabled needs. They argue that lifetime homes could play a central role in avoiding past design failures in making housing accessible, which would save scarce resources and support independent living. The government's inter-departmental review of community care should be used as an opportunity to consider bringing adaptations funding together under one administering authority.
