The Courts are designed to mobility standards, so that both communal areas and the individual properties are easily accessible and convenient to use, even in the extreme situation that someone becomes confined to a wheelchair. Careful attention is paid to the design details so that there is not even a single step to be climbed.
Hallways and doorways are wider than usual, sockets and switches are conveniently placed and flooring is chosen with safety and ease of movement in mind, plus a multitude of other details to make life easier.
A speech alarm call system is fitted to every dwelling with pull cords in every room of both the private dwellings and the communal areas. In an emergency this enables an Owner, guest or member of staff to speak to the Duty Manager, one of whom is on the premises 24hrs a day, although after 10pm this is generally only for emergencies.
