Q Are the requirements for door and corridor widths applicable upstairs as well as downstairs?

A Yes. The concept behind Lifetime Homes is to offer people the choice to remain in their home even if their needs change. Should a parent acquire an impairment and become a wheelchair user, the need to tend to the children during the night would remain. It is therefore important that the parent can access the children’s rooms. In the same way a disabled child should be able to access their parent’s room.
