Your project in the canton of Bern

Accessibility adaptations for people with reduced mobility in the canton of Bern
The canton of Bern brings together very different situations when it comes to adapting a home. In Bern's old town, narrow arcaded houses have steep stairs and floors with no lift; a made-to-measure stairlift often makes it possible to stay in one's flat. In Biel/Bienne, twentieth-century rental buildings raise questions about access from the street, steps in the entrance hall and the width of bathroom doors. In the Oberland, around Thun and Interlaken, chalets on several levels call for platforms, ramps protected from snow and sometimes a bedroom on the ground floor. In a rented building, obtain the property management company's agreement before the work.
- In an arcaded house, have the stairwell checked to see whether it is wide enough for a rail before ruling out other options.
- For a chalet in the Oberland, ask for a covered or heated ramp if the entrance is exposed to snowfall.

Frequently asked questions
How should an accessible route be defined in Bern?
Identify the starting point, rooms and everyday tasks the route must connect, including entrances and shared areas. Note thresholds, door movement and equipment used without publishing medical diagnoses. Ask for assessment of the whole route, so adapting one doorway does not leave another practical obstacle unresolved.
How can I describe accessibility needs without medical details?
Explain the movements and tasks that are difficult, the equipment used and the relevant room or doorway dimensions. A description of the practical obstacle can support planning without a medical history. Ask for an assessment of the actual space and the proposed solution before selecting equipment.
What should I compare in adaptations for reduced mobility quotes?
Compare adaptations against the same practical needs, including door clearances, manoeuvring space and controls. Clarify installation, testing and making good surrounding finishes. Ask which assessments are necessary and who coordinates them; a product alone does not establish that the complete route is accessible.
How should I prepare for the adaptations for reduced mobility visit or work?
Prepare a simple route plan from the entrance to the rooms used most. Note thresholds, narrow points and items to retain. Discuss the proposed changes with the person who will use them, and arrange any specialist assessment privately when it is relevant.
