This house is a rental house with accessible features for people with ALS. We do not advertise or rent to the general public. This is NOT a specialized care facility. It is a single family house, 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, with special features for people with ALS.

• There are lots of accessible features - but they are subtle, so the house feels like a home

• We designed this house not just for pALS, but for cALS as well. Having space to help is important

• Widened doorways, pocket doors, lever-style handles, low thresholds make for easier movement

• Handrails - some recessed, some disguised, some obvious

• Roll in showers for wheeled devices

• Widened hallway

• Roll-unders at sinks, cooktop for wheeled devices; or use a stool to sit while working

• Ramps instead of steps - almost everywhere

• Ease of access between indoors and outdoors; nobody wants to be stuck indoors

• Concrete paths for ease of movement outdoors

• Peaceful setting and beautiful garden

The house is in Lakewood, Colorado, near Youngfield St. and W 20th Avenue.

Email is best; we can set up a time to talk on the phone. raggedyclan@gmail.com

In 2026, the house is renting for $2,734/month plus utilities. This is HUD’s Fair Market Rent for Jefferson County for a 3 bedroom apartment. (The market rate rental on this single family house in August of 2025 was appraised at $3,500/month.)

In 2025, utilities costs were about $300/month for water & sewer, trash & recycling, internet, gas & electricity. The house has solar panels, a heat pump & furnace, a sprinkler system for the gardens. In summer of 2026, we are installing a backup Powerwall battery. The electricity was updated to current code in 2025. The house was also fully insulated in 2025 with many new, double pane doors and windows.

1. No, however: the house has several items that may be useful such as a power wheelchair (fitted for a small female), a manual wheelchair, a massage chair, and a pneumatic medical bed. We can also remove these items if not wanted.

4. We do the normal process of running a credit check. We will also ask for a confirmation letter from a medical professional or ALS organization that the named tenant has ALS.

• Please ask us for more details. The following are the highlights of our standard lease. We will consider special situations.

• Generally, we do a 6 month lease with the pALS as the first named tenant.

• After 6 months, the lease converts to month to month.

• If the tenancy changes, the lease will be revised.

• Security deposit is equal to two month rent.

• Animals are allowed.

• Tenants are required to have rental insurance.
