Accessibility, when choosing a location

Talk to the managers of all facilities about their accessibility and make sure that checking this out is an important part of your first site visit. With ADA regulations, most facilities you talk to should be able to call themselves accessible, but you really want to check this out. Are the bathrooms truly accessible? Are the accessible bathrooms close to where you are going to be on the property? What are the accessible sleeping rooms like? Are there enough to meet your needs? If there is a stage of some sort in the room, is it accessibly for wheel chairs . If you find you need services related to disabilities (sign language specialists, for example) can the facility help you identify them?
