What does "visitability" mean for home design?

DEFINITION OF "VISITABILITY"

"Visibility" is a term for a movement focusing on laws and policies to change home construction so that virtually all new homes, not just those custom-built for those who currently have disabilities, have specific features to make them easier for mobility-impaired people to visit.

Several municipalities have enacted ordinances to enforce requirements for new homes to have at least one zero-step entry approached by an accessible path on a firm surface no steeper than 1:12, wide passage doors, and at least a half bath/powder room large enough to be wheelchair accessible on the main floor.
