Great thread @Liv , We have hosted lots of older individuals in our "Easy Access Studio" that came specifically because of the accommodations.

We named it such because I originally built it for my Mom (RIP Wilhelmina) when she lived with us due to being debilitated with Parkinson's and severely mobility limited.
The first leg up assist is having dedicated parking less than 15' from the short (3') and low wheelchair ramp (Less than 8" rise) that eases you to the front door. Once inside, your only 8' from the studio space which is laid out so that you have lots of space to navigate around the bed, kitchenette, work/ dining table and Electric Lift Comfy Overstuffed Lounge Chair with places to park your walker or Wheelchair, all amenities are easily reached from a chair if necessary. The Bathroom is a short roll through the recently renovated dining room/ entrance door, through a small office and straight inside the bath space that is equipped with grab bars by the toilet and a step free walk in, sit down spa tub as well as a sink with lots of grab zones to assist standing and transferring from a wheelchair to the other bath fixtures.
Melodie worked decades with Developmentally Disabled Individuals many of which also have minor mobility challenges so we both had our eyes open to some of the challenges disabilities can provide. We learned much about accommodating and overcoming my moms disabilities, you cant imagine just how bad most stores, eateries and even doctors offices are to navigate, makes my blood boil thinking about it. When we started Bearpath Lodging, we realized so many STR's in our area were in very old giant homes, they offer a room or a suite at the top of a rickety stairs, at the end of the hall that is nearly impossible for limited mobility folks to navigate or even get to that we decided to maintain the things we did for Mom in the space when we opened it for Airbnb hosting. Ours is not ADA per-se, to be truly ADA there are a few things that would need to happen that wouldn't be possible to be fully compliant but its very close and folks that need it appreciate it well and tell us that.
A future project will add another ADA bathroom en suite where my office is at this time (that will move). It will be much more desirable than a trip at night through the dining room and my wife's office. Because the door is 36" wide, it will be fully ADA, that's still a year or more out but I'm looking forward to it and Melodie is looking forward to getting our downstairs bathroom back , (it is only for guests when we have them). Melodie and I aren't getting any younger and at some point will likely move into the access suite ourselves and turn our master suite upstairs into another rental. Seems like a great way to finish the last chapters of the adventure of our lives, in a place we are most comfortable in. Stay well, JR
