Planned accommodations include:

  • Barrier-free access for those with restricted mobility
  • Fully-accessible bathroom with a roll-in shower
  • Kitchen that incorporates universal design principles
  • Flashing smoke alarms and other alerts
  • Two bedrooms to allow for a companion
  • Service animals welcome
