Description: THE UNIQUE STORY, TOLD BY THE HOUSE OWNER
Because Jos had a client, whom he helped with her financial affairs, who lost her leg in a fatal accident, he came up with the idea of adapting his holiday home for disabled people. Together with his brother-in-law, a handyman, the bedroom on the ground floor was adapted to all the wishes of disabled people. The adjoining bathroom underwent a complete makeover to create enough space here as well.
From that moment on, the reviews for this holiday home have increased positively and it is now rated 4.7 out of 5. People travelling with a disabled person also often give each other mouth-to-mouth recommendations if a stay has been good and meets all the special requirements. Meanwhile, 30% of the guests staying at this holiday home are groups with a disabled person in their midst.
The house is divided into two parts. Upstairs are the 'normal' bedrooms where there is also room to chill. Downstairs you will find the aforementioned spacious bedroom with bathroom fully adapted for disabled guests. This includes a wheelchair-friendly shower where the glass doors can be opened completely and where there is a wheelchair that can be used to shower completely. In addition, the bed can be lowered to make it easier to get in and out, and it can also be raised in case someone needs care. They have even thought of a remote control to turn the lights on and off, so you don't have to get out of bed.
Everything is available in the holiday home, such as the wheelchair for the shower, but also a wheelchair for in and around the house. Moveable brackets where you can pull yourself up or hold on to, but also for example a bedspring where someone can pull himself up if he is bedridden. In short, fully equipped, there is even a rollator available so that it does not have to be carried in the car. Layout:
