Alternative Senior Living: Convert Your Garage to a Senior Apartment Home

Friday, July 9, 2010 by Next Door Garage Apartments Web Team

If you have elderly parents at home, you may be asking yourself the question of whether it is best for them to stay at home with you, or if they are better off in a retirement community. There are, however, some alternative senior living solutions which are available to you.

Many seniors may feel bad about living with their adult children, as they feel that they are a being a burden to them. However, they often do appreciate being close to their loved ones, and would much rather stay close to their family than being sent off to a nursing home to be cared for by complete strangers.

Some people have considered adding a room to their house to make more living space for their parents which are living with them. However, not everyone has the time and money to take on such an important home remodeling project, which would often take several weeks to complete and can cost a lot of money. There is always the possibility to remodel a garage and turn it into a private living space for your parents. A two car garage can be perfectly remodeled into an additional apartment in your home, complete with bathroom, dining room, bedroom and kitchen.

Next Door Garage Apartments can turn your garage into a living space in less than 10 days and for a flat fee of $35 000. To request more information about what they can do for you, fill out the contact form.

Next Door Garage Apartments Provides an Excellent Solution to a Common Problem

If you are seeking alternative senior care for someone that you love, there are options. For a flat rate of $35,000, you can convert your garage into a small apartment, that is completely functional. This apartment can serve as alternative senior housing for your loved one.

More often than not, care giving comes about because of events that have caused worry for you, or because of several injuries that have occurred, and other signs that have indicated the need for more long-term caution and care. Perhaps your elderly loved one has fled, or has become repeatedly lost in public. Sometimes you will notice that a long time elderly companion or friend, has lost weight, or rarely leaves home.

In these instances, the only people with the ability to intervene are the caregiver, or - if accessible - the network of family and friends closest to the elderly person, or couple. In many cases, younger family members are the best individuals to care for elderly family members as the individual advances in age. If the situation is made convenient for younger people, then they are more inclined to take on the responsibility.

With a garage apartment from Next Door Garage Apartments, you can easily keep a watchful eye on your loved ones for safety, and when you are busy or working, you can have a professional attend to their needs. This alternative senior living option, will probably prove most desirable to loving grandparents, and elderly aunts and uncles, who want to be an active part of the lives of their children, nieces, nephews, and grandchildren.

An Alternative Solution for Aging Parents

Monday, April 5, 2010 by Next Door Garage Apartments Web Team

Facing the reality of caring for aging parent can be difficult and emotional. We expect our parents to take care of us, but when the tables are turned we often find ourselves unprepared. For families with elderly parents who live far away and require frequent assistance, the choice sometimes comes down to placing the parent in an expensive active senior living facility, or having the parent move in with the family. Many families can’t afford senior independent living facilities or simply don’t feel comfortable placing their parents there, but the burden of having a parent move in with the family may seem like too much. Not only does it infringe on the family’s privacy, but it takes away elderly parents’ sense of independence.

Solution For My Mother

Monday, April 5, 2010 by Next Door Garage Apartments Web Team

My mom is a divorcee and lives alone. My husband and I moved closer so that we could help take care of her house, yard and other needs. Although she lived closer, we were still still an hour and a half away. We hadn't been able to assist her in the way we originally wanted. We constantly worried about her being alone. Since we didn't want to uproot our jobs and kids, we began looking for alternative solutions. We considered a mother-in-law apartment, but the cost of home additions right now is way too high. Also, she is not ready for senior living housing or even for senior independent living.

The best option that we encountered was through Next Door Garage Apartments. They can put up a modular, temporary unit for my mom, inside of our garage. It only costs $35,000 to remodel the garage, and can be done within ten days. Next Door Garage Apartments is easy to contact and will answer any questions you might have about this affordable senior housing option.

Remodeling your garage for elderly parents

Friday, April 2, 2010 by Next Door Garage Apartments Web Team

As a baby boomer and recently losing my father, I have been faced with the reality that someday my mother might not be able to live alone. Although she is in good health and is still very active, I have been concerned about what we will do for her when that day comes. Most everyone in my age bracket will be faced with this dilemma. What are some of the options?

In my quest for answers, I began exploring senior housing options. There are many Active Senior Living facilities in and around our area and they are very expensive. Depending on the services that might be required, a monthly retirement income may not be enough to cover all the costs.

To my amazement, I’ve found a very economical solution that will allow independent adult living to continue for my mother within very close proximity of family. That solution is with Next Door Garage Apartments (NDGA). After examining their website, I discovered the following facts:

NDGA provides all services needed to transform an existing two-car garage into a beautiful apartment – a perfect way to be able to look after a loved one on an as needed basis.
If an emergency situation arises unexpectedly, NDGA can do a complete conversion in as little as ten days.
All kitchen appliances are provided by NDGA and they customize each unit for heating, air-conditioning and hot water. They also provide many other amenities that add a finishing touch to their apartment conversions.
Granny flat kits are surprisingly affordable. For only $35,000, a complete renovation is possible. Compare that price to the monthly fees your local senior assisted living facilities might charge!

With all that Next Door Garage Apartments has to offer, this company should be at the top of your list to explore when debating your adult senior care needs. You can find out more about NDGA by visiting their website.
