Alternative Senior Living

A Great Alternative for Senior Housing

Monday, July 12, 2010 by Next Door Garage Apartments Web Team

I can't believe what a great alternative that Next Door Garage Apartments offers, when compared to all of the other things I have been considering. My husband and I are getting older, but we're not really ready for the nursing home. Our kids have offered numerous times to build a mother-in-law apartment, or to do some kind of home addition, but it's just so expensive. Neither of us want to pay that much and I couldn't handle my kids spending that much on us. Plus, what are they going to do with it when we're gone?

That's why my husband and I got excited when our neighbor told us about Next Door Garage Apartments. They can build us a temporary place inside of the two car garage that my kids have. It's quick and easy; in fact, they can have it built in ten days.

What really sold us on converting the garage into an apartment was that it can be quickly and easily removed so our kids won't have to feel like we're a burden long after we're gone. We also really like how nice they look. They're well designed and there are no stairs. This is a great option for senior parents living with children. We called three days ago and we're planning on moving in within the week. It'll be nice to be closer so that if anything happens to either of us, we'll have help close by. We feel that with this alternative, we'll be able to have our independence which we'd like to hold on to as long as we can.

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.

Provide the Emotional Support Active Senior Citizens Need

Wednesday, June 30, 2010 by Next Door Garage Apartments Web Team

An active senior citizen can find herself in a difficult predicament. The home that she has lovingly maintained for decades may become burdensome once a spouse passes. Dear friends, likewise, may pass on, leaving her lonely and without the social ties she has enjoyed her entire life. Yet, despite the inevitable losses that advanced years bring, she is still an independent adult living fully and enjoying general good health.

An active senior living independently isn't ready for assisted living. She also doesn't want to lose her autonomy, nor her furnishings, by moving into the spare bedroom of her child's home.

Next Door Garage Apartments is the perfect solution for the active senior citizen who wants to enjoy her healthy years living close to her loved ones. WithNext Door Garage Apartments, the active senior citizen can take pleasure in the upkeep of her private living space, while taking comfort in the relationships that have given her life meaning and purpose.

Next Door Garage Apartments respects the abilities of active senior citizen while keeping them close to the support they need. Families, too, can take comfort knowing that the senior citizens they love are safe while maintaining their own living space and routine.

A New Option For An Elderly Parent To Live With You Instead of A Room Additions

Saturday, May 29, 2010 by Next Door Garage Apartments Web Team

Home additions ideas don’t come more meaningful than the one outlined at Next Door Garage Apartments. This isn’t an outline of how to perform garage conversion into a room. It’s the blueprint for the rest of your elderly family members’ lives.

Housing options for the elderly are few. Once parents become too old to take care of themselves, the option always results in a loss of personal freedom for parents. They have until now been forced to choose between living with adult children or living in a nursing home, assisted living or a retirement home. All three place the elderly in the difficult position of being away from family and losing the personal freedom that comes with owning one’s own domain.

Next Door Garage Apartments has devised a way for parents and children to live together but separately. Their plan is a comfortable renovation of a two-car garage that allows elderly parents to live comfortably beside adult children without having to live with them. Children retain their personal space while elderly parents gain a home of their own to furnish as they see fit. It’s the perfect blend of freedom for families that has until now eluded them. Independent senior living just got easier for parents and children.

If you have elderly parents who might soon need to face the difficult decision of moving to a new place, find the answer to your problems.

If you have questions, don’t hesitate to contact Next Door Garage Apartments. They are eager to share this new senior living option with adult children who love their elderly parents very much and want to give them the happiest life possible.

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.

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.

The company can convert your garage into a mother-in-law apartment with a living room, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and private entrance for just $35,000.

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.
