HOW THE PROJECT WORKS
Keith and Jane have been able to buy a villa about ten minutes away from Disney World. Florida. They spend about 3 months a year out there, and during that time they invite families with a disabled parent to stay with them as their guests. Jane then acts as housekeeper, cook, chauffeuse, tour guide if required and general back-up in case of problems. (Yes, and bottle-washer too!)
THE VILLA
 |
The villa has been adapted to make it more convenient for someone with a disability.. . the bathroom has been enlarged and equipped with a variety of handrails and gadgets to make life easier; there are ramps at the front and back doors, a handrail into the swimming pool. The bedrooms are convenient and the car is a large people carrier. (With the use of a ramp. someone can transfer from his or her wheelchair to the car seat in the privacy of the car.) The visiting family, the ‘Guests’... have their own bedrooms and a bathroom, separate from Keith and Jane’s. and two parents with up to three children can be accommodated. They have full use of the facilities including the swimming pool. |
THE GUESTS
| Guests make their own decisions about how to plan their holiday, and they are as independent as they want to be. although Jane is at hand for advice if required. This part of Florida is about as disabled-friendly as it is possible to be, (although some of the attractions are still learning!) and any special equipment needed for an individual problem can usually be hired locally |  |
