Get What You Need Easily With Accessible Refrigerators

An accessible refrigerator is one that meets the standards of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), so you might also call it an ADA refrigerator. Being able to easily access the refrigerator increases independence for disabled people. Every disability is different, so choosing the accessible refrigerator that meets your needs ensures a more comfortable home life.

An ADA-compliant refrigerator meets accessible-design standards under civil law in the United States. Accessible refrigerators commonly feature French doors. The shorter width of doors on a French door refrigerator makes more space available in front of the refrigerator for a wheelchair or mobility aid. Accessible refrigerators are operable with one hand, and none of the handles or operations require tight grasping.

Bottom-located freezers or chest freezers are best for easier access to frozen foods. Putting a small fridge in a convenient location is a great way to reduce trips to the kitchen. Small fridges are also convenient for someone to open from a wheelchair.
