I'd advise against a mh for older people. As soon as your knee or hip goes the mh is useless

I think they're mostly describing the immobile kind that's basically a pre-fab home trucked to the spot. Sometimes double-wide.

Not true - MHs can have special shallow stairs that are easier on the knees or even a wheelchair ramp or lift if necessary. All three of these options exist on houses on my street. Also my wife has bad knees but had knee joint replacement surgery on one pre-Covid and is scheduling the other knee post-Covid and she is happy with normal stairs.

I've known a couple people at least that lived in mobile homes and had a ramp built to accommodate them better. Are you saying for situations where a ramp isn't an option or isn't sufficient?
