Visitability is a concept that needs to become as commonplace as no step entrances to public places are now. It requires new home construction to include: an accessible route to one no step entrance, a minimum 32" wide doorway, leading to a hallway minimum 36" wide, and a bathroom or half bath on that floor with a clear floor space of 30" x 48." And it does not cost any way close to $5000. It costs about $600 to do this over a basement and even less on a slab.
