I'm not usually opinionated but - follow your instinct and don't do it.

The bathroom doesn't meet your needs.

Thanks, LA, it's beginning to sink in. I love the place otherwise and it's kind of breaking my frozen, stony heart.

Cindy, I don't want to say don't do it but I think your reservations are right on. If it doesn't meet your accessibility needs it probably isn't the place for you. I hate saying that and I am mad because I am. But it is what it is. The right place is out there for you, I know it is.

I would be concerned about the bathroom for sure. If you fell you could get lodged in the small space, couldn't get your rollator in, etc. The tub could also be an issue down the line. I've seen Jim fall in a small shower we converted into a roll in and it was very difficult to get him up once he was lodged in. I almost had to call 911 and he was butt naked!

The parking space with no cut outs doesn't seem right either. BUT, I do know that can be fixed. Most states require an apartment building to section off a handicap space for you. The downfall? Anyone could park there unless you have designated parking.

Have you tried calling the housing authority? We did this for my mom and she has her own apartment through a private owner. They have a whole set of apartments that are accessible and some are fully wheelchair accessible with emergency pull cords for those living alone. And the best part is they base your rent on your income. The apartments are not state owned, they are privately owned but have a contract with the state which means you have a landlord just like you would in a regular apartment. The downfall? They have rules and evaluations yearly.

Anyway, even if you don't go that route, I am sure they can direct you to apartments that are accessible for you.

Awwwwww Pooohy, Cin....Toity room sucks sewage water.

I'm hoping you can get a Realtor who knows your wants and needs, to steer you to just the right place for you..

Don't do it!

I have spent almost 2 years in a townhouse that makes me miserable.

I knew in my gut that having the garage downstairs and living quarters upstairs wouldn't work with my back. I kept thinking, the place is smaler than the house we had..not a quad level that we had...I can handle 1 flight...

There have been days that I would take the kids to school and barely be able to get back downstairs to go pick them up. Take me 15 minutes to walk down the 1 flight. Then pray I could get back up again.

Don't settle Cindy. Keep searching.

Did you find this one on a rental website?

cindy, i'm sorry.
i agree that you shouldn't proceed unless the place will meet all your needs.

i know the right thing will come along.

Well that is a real crapper of a toilet!

Too bad that is the last place left in NC.

What? It is not?

I know what you will do. You will find an even better place that fits all you needs.

Sorry it might take longer to get there.

Just follow your gut feelings. Whatever you decide we will be behind you 100%!

(If you look for another joint. Try to get one with a kennel run in the back yard for DM.)

What she said!

Mr Hunk says he's up for a trip to NC, to bring your Bathroom up to code.

Now there's an idea AMN!!!

But seriously, I hope another becomes available soon.
