8 Best ADA Doorbells for Hotel

Are you a hotel manager looking for the best ADA doorbells for your hotel rooms? If YES, here are the best and most efficient ADA doorbells to buy. 

According to reports, about 25 percent of U.S. adults — 61 million — have a disability that affects major life activities. Also, nearly 14 percent of those (one in seven U.S. adults) are mobility impaired. And those 65 and older are six times more likely to have some form of disability.

The ADA was meant to ensure these people with disabilities have equal opportunities and benefit in ways that affect quality of life, including public and commercial accommodations, which encompasses hotel lodging. The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) makes it unlawful to discriminate against people with disabilities in employment, state and local government services, public accommodation, transportation and telecommunications.

The ADA defines an individual with a disability as a person who has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of the major life activities; has a record of such impairment; or is regarded as having such impairment.

ADA hotel regulations are known to cover several main aspects: the minimum required number of disability-accessible rooms — ranging from one to 20 per property —based on a hotel’s total number of rooms; minimum widths of hallways, ramps, room entries and bathroom doorways; shower and toilet accommodations (grab bars, roll-in showers, minimum space to allow manoeuvring of wheelchairs) and communication equipment for people with hearing and vision impairments.

A roll-in shower is one with a tile floor that’s flush with the bathroom floor; it doesn’t require guests to step into a tub to shower and doesn’t have a raised lip that could be problematic for someone in a wheelchair. A hotel room will need an alerting device if someone is at the door.

Either a wireless doorbell that fits on a bracket that slides over the edge of the door or a wireless door knocker sensor that also fits on a similar bracket. In a hotel setting, when someone presses the doorbell or knocks on the door, a wireless signal is meant to be sent to the bedside receiver which activates.

Besides the lamp flashing and the bed shaking, you can see an indicator lamp on the receiver telling you which device is going off. At a time when so many people are caring for elderly relatives or other family members with disabilities, hotels must provide the legally required services families need. Here are the best types of ADA doorbells for hotels;
