HOME ACCESSIBILITY

Accessible kitchens in Calgary

Make everyday preparation and storage easier to reach.

Start with the person and the place

An accessible kitchen is personal. We look at reachable storage, counter tasks, sink and appliance access, circulation and how the household cooks together.

What to think through

Identify the tasks that are difficult today.
Consider knee clearance and reachable work zones.
Avoid moving fixtures before checking circulation.

How we approach it

Tell us what feels difficult today and share photos or measurements if you have them. We can then discuss the route, the existing construction and the range of possible changes. Specific equipment, feasibility and scope are confirmed after assessing the site.

Questions about this solution

Does the whole kitchen need replacing?

Not necessarily. Focused changes may help, depending on the layout and goals.

Can a kitchen work for seated and standing users?

Yes. A thoughtful mix of work zones can support different ways of using the space.

How do we decide counter height?

Start with the person’s seated or standing reach and the tasks they perform. One height does not fit everyone, and a mix of work zones can be more useful.

What changes help without moving plumbing?

Reachable storage, handles, pull-out shelves, clear floor space and task lighting may help. The right choices depend on the existing kitchen and user.

What should we check around appliances?

Check door swings, controls, reach and whether a person can approach and use each appliance safely with their mobility device.
