Brownsburg Home: It fosters independence


One of the Brownsburg homes I wrote: In Dolores Moon's Brownsburg home, everything is within arm's reach -- and a tap from her elbow on a black button automatically opens an interior door in case her hands are full with groceries.

Despite being in a wheelchair, the 72-year-old has complete independence. Every room in her condominium south of Main Street -- from the kitchen to the baths to the bedroom -- was either modified or custom-built to suit her needs.

A reaction from my editor:Wonderful piece on the disabled woman and her (awesome) home in Brownsburg AM. I read every word, including her tips from her tipsheet on designing a home for the wheelchair-bound. -- Thanks Tom! Neill
