Living Easy in Your Own Home – Accessibility

“This will be the last home we build.”

“We want to stay in our home as we age.”

“We need handicap accessible features”

“Have you heard of Universal Design?”

“We want a home that is easy to live in, meets our needs and our lifestyle.”

 

Many of our homeowners are planning for the days ahead in retirement or for family with particular needs.  Ease of access, ease of use and easy living – we offer standards and options that make it possible.

Design in a custom home is highly personal, and we offer the homeowner the opportunity to incorporate features that reflect your needs and personality.  At Battlefield Homes, we design and customize home plans and features individually with you, our customer, because everyone is different.  What do you want to build?
