Free floor plan creator

Can anyone recommend a good and free floor plan creation software. I need to knock up the floor plan of my dad's house to give to his occupational therapy team before he leaves hospital so they can get an idea of what needs to be done and the limitations of the property for wheelchair use. Also, needs to be quick and easy to use ;)

    If your dad has neighbours with similar houses, you might find a free house plan on Rightmove :-)

    Otherwise squared paper and a sharp pencil is as good a method as any.

    That’s the OT’s job.

    SketchUp is good but bit of a learning curve, think it’s still free

    True , but the hospital he's at is out of the area so this is more to get the ball rolling before he's transferred closer to home when the local OT team can take over and do a home visit themselves.

    Nice one, thank you I hadn't thought of that. Managed to find one with the exact same layout. :)
