Implementing these principles not only improves the quality of life for residents but also promotes a supportive atmosphere that enhances their overall health and wellbeing.

This includes designing wide corridors and hallways that allow easy passage for wheelchairs and ensuring they remain unobstructed. The installation of automatic or power-assist doors with smooth thresholds facilitates effortless entry and exit. For multi-story buildings, it is important to incorporate elevators, ramps, or platform lifts. Additionally, floors should be smooth and even, eliminating deep pile carpets and other obstacles that could impede mobility. Including at least one accessible toilet with an alarm system is essential, and it should be designated exclusively for customers with disabilities, not for storage purposes. By integrating these accessibility features, aged care refurbishment can foster environments that greatly enhance the quality of life for residents.
