Can someone recommend a good reference–either on-line or a book– for ideas and discussion about useful house features in retirement? While it might be prudent to accommodate wheelchairs, I’m not looking for information about housing for the handicapped.
Thanks in advance,

Dorothy- try a search on the term "universal design", and you'll get a list of sites.
Here's a site with a good explanation and some design ideas: http://www.aarp.org/universalhome/
*Dorothy,Take a look at Taunton Press's list of books dealing with houses..............lots of ideas.Secondly check all back issues of FHB "HOUSES".Between these you can collect enough thoughts as to "what you like" to begin the journey....................Iron Helix
