I've read the other responses, yes it does very by State and area. Funny you should bring this topic up at a time when I'm trying to start a modular construction co that includes leaving the ground floor open for 100% accessible living units. The building plan is simple, requires less plumbing using smart design, incorporates energy efficiency into the design (making it open for low cost loans or grants), and uses a new building material which is mostly recycled materials. All 1st floor units have roll in showers and sliding panel doors for second entrances and sliding interior doors. (Using the automatic system that works for sliding doors) Trying to locate them near universities with nursing schools to offer low rent in exchange for help. Since the manufacture company will be a "not for profit" the costs can be kept to the bare minimum. Will be looking for construction coordinators and building managers as soon as the first unit is being built. I Hope to keep anyone who wants it out of nursing homes. But part of the fight will be getting States to change the way they provide services. I know those who provide the care (the aids) like my plan, as it would save them a lot of traveling so they could work with clients to provide maximum care (splitting hours etc to provide several visits over the day). They say "need is the mother of invention" and we just don't have real accessible housing options here. Will keep the list up to date once progress is made. Stunt
