Visitability

==Background==
No article in Wikipedia exists called, visitability. One should be written.
 
Visitability is about accessibility, dignity and the ability of our older citizens and those in our community with physical challenges to live and grow old comfortably in their
homes.
Light switches that are lower, zero-step entranceways, first floor powder rooms, and bathroom walls that can accommodate grab bars safely are just a few of the easy and inexpensive
ways to plan for a residence that can be adapted to a homeowner's
changing needs.

:The legislation was created in close collaboration with the Pennsylvania Builders Association and disability advocates. The bill has 18 co-sponsors and has quickly gained steam in the Senate. Its intent is to help homeowners avoid the excessive expense of renovation and retrofitting these changes since they will already be in place from the start.
