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

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

Alternative Senior Living 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.
 


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.

Home Renovations Additions 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.

Home Additions Ideas to Help Grandma and Grandpa

Wednesday, April 28, 2010 by Next Door Garage Apartments Web Team

Home Addition Ideas As the baby boomer generation grows older, the number of them seeking for housing options for disabled and elderly parents increases, as well. Many companies are hoping to help you come up with the right situation for your senior parents, friends, or neighbors. Some of the help you can receive include instructions for remodeling a garage or other room, finding the right special needs housing, and teaching families how to deal with elderly parents moving in.

One of the most effective and cost efficient ways of providing living space for the elderly in your home is to come up with the right home addition idea. Home additions can be costly, but don't have to be if planned properly. By adding a single bedroom onto the side of your home, you will not only be increasing the value of your home but you will also be providing a needed member of your family with the warmth and comfort of decent living. Many contractors are looking for work to keep them busy, and now is a great time to add on because they are more willing to give discounts and deals during a down economy.

Along with the addition of a new room, the remodeling of a garage or other room in your house is an excellent idea to provide living space for the elderly. This is an easy process that can take less than ten days, and when you no longer have your visitor in your home, the process of flipping back to the original is simple. For more ideas on how to cope with taking care of elderly parents.
 

The Cost of Adding a Room: How High Is It?

Wednesday, April 28, 2010 by Next Door Garage Apartments Web Team
Cost of Adding Room If you have a college student that will be staying home while they attend school, or if you have an elderly parent or relative you'd like to have living closer so you can take care of them, you may have looked into the cost of adding a room to your home. Adding a single room can be very expensive, and may not offer enough space for you and your family member. Sharing space may also be stressful, especially if you have a small home. So is the cost of adding room worth it? 

Next Door Garage Apartments offers a much better solution to this situation. If your home features a two car garage, they can come in and build a complete apartment, including a full kitchen and bathroom, in under 10 days. The cost is also fixed, at only $35,000, which is not much higher than the cost of adding a single room to your home. Not only will your adult child or elderly parent have their own space, you will continue to have your whole home to yourself.

This is also a much more independent solution than simply sharing a room or a home. An adult child gets the independence of having their own apartment, without you having to worry about the cost of rent or utilities on top of college tuition. Elderly relatives can rely on your support without feeling like a burden, and while maintaining their own private space. The apartment is also non-permanent and easily removed if your relative moves out and you'd like to have a garage again.

Cost of Home Additions are a Budget Breaker

Monday, April 12, 2010 by Next Door Garage Apartments Web Team
http://www.nextdoorgarageapartments.com/homeIn the midst of a rough global economy, when dollars are tight and cents are pinched, there are very few, reasonably priced options for adding room to your home.

The cost of hiring a contractor comes with fees that don't even cover the actual purchase of materials and building services—things like sub-contracting, project managing, and other middleman costs.  Even if you're a real gung-ho handyman, do-it-yourself home additions are costly and even risky as the new structure must exactly match the original structure. Plus, additions often raise the taxes on your home, amongst many other costs like insurance, equipment rental, and so much more.

You don't have the time, energy, skill, and most importantly, the budget to hire a contractor or risk doing home additions yourself. And you need more room—now.

It's going to be especially tough when your situation becomes an emergency.  What would you do if one of your parents suddenly passes on and your remaining parent is in desperate need of your support?

The good news to all of this trouble? Next Door Garage Apartments (NDGA).

NDGA offers solutions for alternative adult care, disabled adult housing, and rental options by converting your garage quickly and easily in just ten days, for a flat fee of $35,000 with no hidden middle-management costs.  So why go through all the hassle of hiring a contractor or trying to do it yourself?  Check out Next Door Garage Apartments right now - contact us today for your garage to room conversion solution.

Housing Options for the Elderly

Wednesday, April 7, 2010 by Next Door Garage Apartments Web Team
http://nextdoorgarageapartments.com/photogalleryNed and Eleanor were married for fifty-two years.  Ned took care of all the bills, and was quite the handy man around the house.  Eleanor cooked, cleaned, and made sure Ned was happy.

As the two grew older, Ned became sick with cancer and soon passed away.  Eleanor was at a loss, and overwhelmed with the upkeep of the house the two had shared for years together.  At first, she tried to do things herself, but it just became too much to handle.  She looked into senior housing options, but didn't feel she could afford them.

Her daughter Ruth considered the cost of adding room to her house to accommodate Eleanor, but found the options quite costly.  Someone mentioned Next Door Garage Apartments to Ruth as a garage remodeling idea.  After some research, Ruth decided this was a great solution.  With a price tag of only $35,000, her two-car garage was transformed into a cozy little apartment for her mother.  The conversion, which took only ten days, offered a good emotional compromise for both Eleanor and Ruth, as Eleanor did not feel like she was being a burden, and Ruth felt at ease knowing her mom was so close.  Ruth also liked the idea that someday it could be easily turned back into a car garage.

If you are taking care of older parents and would like more information about this affordable housing solution, contact a representative at Next Door Garage Apartments today to discuss this apartment for the elderly. 

Next Door Garage Apartment and step towards independence

Wednesday, March 31, 2010 by Next Door Garage Apartments Web Team
http://www.nextdoorgarageapartments.com/photogalleryWith a house full of five kids and a sixth child on the way, we were out of room and desperate.  Our 17 year old son is a senior in high school.  He is the only kid with his own room and was not about to share it with a newborn.  We needed a quick solution - and with a family this size, the cost of adding room was a big concern.  My doctor's office referred me to Next Door Garage Apartments.  I was impressed with how they could remodel a garage.

Once we saw what a garage conversion into a room, would cost we decided we could not pass it up.  For a flat fee of $35,000 and 10 days worth of work, we had a solution that could put my son on a path to independence, room for the baby, and an option to one day convert it back, or rent it out to a student from the local college.  If you need more room for yourself or for a rental apartment you can contact Next Door Garage Apartments and they'd be happy to assist you.

Alternative Adult Care that Keeps Parents Close By

Wednesday, March 31, 2010 by Next Door Garage Apartments Web Team
http://www.nextdoorgarageapartments.com/photogalleryAs parents age, you may find yourself considering how best to care for them.  If parents need extra attention, there are three traditional means that most families consider.  Those are nursing homes, assisted living and having a parent move in with your family.  These situations can be expensive and emotionally trying.  Perhaps you should consider the alternative adult care of building an apartment for your parents next door in your garage.

Next Door Garage Apartments can convert your garage into a warm and inviting place to live.  You can move aging parents in and take good care of them without them taking over your home.  This solution provides independent senior living for your parents, but without the cost and distance of them being in a retirement home.

The cost of adding a room in your garage is very affordable, especially considering the costs of retirement communities.  For a flat rate of $35,000, you can have your garage transformed into a room or apartment that your parents can call home.  The best part is that you get to keep them nearby, yet you can each maintain your own independent spaces.

Taking care of older parents is an important, and sometimes emotionally difficult, job.  Make it easier on yourself by converting your garage into a room.  This may be just the alternative adult care your family has been looking for.  Your parents can maintain their own independence and will not feel like they are a burden on your family.  And since they are nearby, you will be able to take care of them as only a family member can, with love, compassion, and respect.
