Debunking the Myth: Why Standard Furniture Falls Short for SDA Properties

Aug 21, 2024

Understanding the Unique Needs of SDA Properties

Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) properties have unique requirements. Standard furniture often fails to meet these needs. It lacks the necessary features for accessibility and safety. This can make daily living more challenging for residents.

People with disabilities need furniture that supports their independence. Standard furniture is not designed with these considerations in mind. It is made for the average person, not taking into account the diverse needs of those in SDA properties.

Safety Concerns

Safety is another major concern. Standard furniture can pose risks, such as sharp edges or unstable bases. For people with disabilities, these risks are heightened. Furniture designed for SDA properties prioritizes safety, reducing the chance of accidents.
