The following three components are considered to be vital to building a visitable home: (1) at least one entrance without a step and with a firm, level path to that entrance, (2) doorways wide enough (32 inches) to accommodate a wheelchair, and (3) at least a half bathroom on the main floor of the house. This report details FODH’s pilot launch of our visitability questions that are now being fielded on the 2011 BRFSS.
