My first question is, what do you do if there is a fire? I would be very interested in what the emergency plan is for evacuating a several-story building of people with mobility challenges.

Absolutely amazing!! Could you please do a video about cooking??? Thank you for sharing. God bless. Have a wonderful day. 🙏

I'm focusing more on just wheelchair fitness for now 😁

What a great facility - are there m,any of these in the UK - 1st time I've actually seen one, looks really well thought out. The hairdressing room would be very useful, I've not been able to get my hair done for 4-years - so having an accessible custom facility would make getting your hair done a breeze!

[@bigrigchristfollower9020]

Thank you for sharing, my mother is up in age and I was just Diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and have a really hard time with standing up so this is very helpful, God Bless you and your family.

Thanks for this Ben. It is always insightful to see how others in our situation are adapting.

[@MsCowabunga72]

That adjustable part of the kitchen counter is amazing! So awesome that you can make your space adaptable and more importantly, homey. Well done! (Would rather see you cook than shower 🤷‍♀️😊)

[@AdaptToPerform]

It's so handy! Haha are you sure 😜😜

[@AdaptToPerform]

[@skyeparker5822]

Nice setup! The hi/low sink counter and the shelf below the oven were new to me.

[@maylaimaylai4033]

[@abushman5938]

I watch a lot of the workout videos but I really like these lifestyle informative ones. I am fairly new to the adaptive life so I peruse quite a few "how to" videos. I am always searching for ideas, so I'd love to see and hear how you do your daily routines. There is no better teacher than experience. Thank you for sharing.

[@AdaptToPerform]

I'm glad you like the change to my usual stuff. I like to inject these from time to time

Hi Ben ... I’ve been waiting for this kind of video.. so thank U a lot ...and YES I would to see how u use both kitchen and bathroom .. that would inspire my quadraphonic friend ..that he can live independently one day ... again as always I appreciate all ur inspirational videos 🙏

[@LaurLechner]

Your apartment is wonderfully adapted Ben! That kitchen counter for the dishes looks so glorious to have! I totally need to find a couch like yours that is low level so I can actually be on a couch. My bathroom was remodeled this summer and I think we have the same sink! Since you said your laundry is on a different floor in your building how do you bring up your own loads of clothes? And do you clean your own apartment? It would totally be helpful if you made a video of more of what you do in the kitchen! It would also be helpful if you did a video of how you transfer from your chair to the toilet and how your shower process goes of safely getting out of the shower once you and the chair are wet! I still just go from my bed to the shower chair to roll over the toilet so if I’m in my wheelchair I have an extra transfer onto the bed then to switch to the shower chair but would love to take that extra step out and just go from chair to toilet. And do you keep medical supplies at a table near your bed and if so what kind of table or small dresser do you use? Thanks! 😃

[@AdaptToPerform]

They're great ideas for video's! Thanks for the idea ☺️☺️

[@jessiemontero4875]

Im so envious with all the stuff youve got. Wish i had the same. 🙂

Hi Ben could you please tell me how you found this? Is there a particular company that builds these am asking as I live in a non adapted place and am looking thanks x

[@AdaptToPerform]

Well it was initially designed for older disabled people but I forced myself in 😜

[@msaxon98]

Lovely Home with Great Access! I Love the wall color & the greenery/plants. Are some of them real? I wanted one of those ovens that open out, so I'm not so far away using it, but was unable to find when my home was built in 2008. I want to eventually upgrade to that & have an adjustable or lower counter area. Would like to see you cook a meal🙂

[@AdaptToPerform]

Thank you very much. Most of the plants are real. Yes in the new year I'll be sure to do that!

Great questions. I'll do a video on kitchen stuff but laundry I put basket on my lap and do it one by one out of the machine

@@AdaptToPerform Thank you. Being a "big boobed" lady I have trouble carrying bags/baskets on my lap as there's not a lot of room left in front 😆 and smaller items like plates are difficult too as I can't even see them! So this means I'm always on the lookout for alternative ways of carrying stuff around the house. I look forward to seeing your video.

[@AdaptToPerform]

I've seen some that are on trollies. Have a look for that online 😊👋

[@someonerandom6379]

Without giving personal details, can you say who built the apartments that you live in ? It would be great to find a national building company that makes accessible housing. My partner is paraplegic and we are looking at options for our next home, we are getting fed up with struggling with unadapted housing.

[@AdaptToPerform]

I believe it's all done through aster housing. There's more like this is my area too unsure if it's just here or national
