Laundry Appliances at arm/waist level so no high or low stretching or twisting to reach.

Kitchen sink square , not roundedwith sharp corners to "trap" a mixing bowl ie..
Refrigerator and or freezer at arm/waist level.
Cubbards and Drawers lowered or raised as above.

iwould put my cookstove on the right of my counter since i have no protective feeling in my left arm. (on the left if your right arm is injured.) that is my major ordeal right now. i am scared i might touch the stove and not know it. and also get a grab bar on the side of the bathtub. that has been a lifesaver for me.

Great one,Joyce,jmar,!
OH, additionally I would have a walkin bathtub. Then I can get rid of my shower chair which is combersome for my son to remove every time he showers.

:mrgreen: Joyce. This is a wishlist only on my part ; just like my "Fantasy Penthouse Condo" on our waterfront here in Tacoma.
