We were going to have roll-in units, as far as I remember, but were not able
to because the cost for flood insurance would have been prohibitive, even if
we could have gotten it.

We have an accessible CH and two flats built for accessibility. One unit is
occupied by a mobility impaired person, who bought it from a resident in a
wheelchair who moved out to be with her boyfriend and his family.
