I believe you can accomplish your goals (and your parents) on a smaller footprint. We are currently building our 3 bedroom/4 bath house with some of your concerns in mind. Single floor, 36 inch doors, no halls, minimum interior walls, ada type baths, very open. The master suite iis 880 sf, but also includes and office and exercise room. The other bedrooms are 440 sf each including a full bath with roll-in showers. You can visit my Take me to Ninole Progress if curious. It has links to progress pics.
Regarding mobility - keep in mind that if build on post and pier, lowest point with be approx 24" above the ground, usually meaning 3 or 4 steps or a ramp depending on your lot.
