Garage Remodeling Ideas: How About an Apartment?

Tuesday, June 1, 2010 by Next Door Garage Apartments Web Team

Garage Remodeling Ideas Home remodeling additions are rarely as important as those described at Next Door Garage Apartments or NDGA. This service  remodels a garage in a way that helps families keep elderly parents at home. Before NDGA, this noble idea didn’t exist (patent-pending). This new, easy housing system helps everyone be comfortable. Parents won’t feel like a burden, and children won’t feel like they’ve stolen freedom from an elderly parent.

Many children want to keep elderly parents out of nursing homes and retirement communities and closer to family. NDGA makes this possible by converting two car garages into modular living units so that elderly parents can live right next door to their children. It helps everyone maintain their independence and privacy and gives mom or dad the ability to receive care from children only when they need it.

The remodeling costs a flat $35,000 and the conversion takes only 10 days to complete. The unit can be converted back to a garage later on, if other arrangements need to be made. This new way of helping elderly parents continue to lead productive, independent lives is the perfect way to live near a parent without having to live with them. They’ll love the arrangement, too, when they see how beautiful their new home looks.

For more information, contact NDGA. You can ask them any questions you may have about NDGA or the services they offer. They look forward to hearing from you and answering all of your questions.

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.

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 means independence

http://www.nextdoorgarageapartments.com/homeRaising a child with a disability is a huge challenge, turning that child into an independent young adult is a huge reward.  Since he was seven years old our son, has been in a wheel chair as the result of an automobile accident.  The whole family was always willing to help, but as he got older, his desire for independence grew stronger.  We were having a hard time letting go, but we knew we had to.

Next Door Garage Apartments provided us with an idea for the perfect compromise and a first step to independent living for the handicapped.  The $35,000 cost and ten days of work were worth it.  The garage remodeling idea was fantastic, and the customization for our wheelchair bound son was perfect.  Of all the renovations we had done to our home in the past, this was the best investment.  It provided our son with his first steps to independence.  For more information about this great disabled adult living option, contact Next Door Garage Apartments.  You can visit their photo gallery for more pictures to better understand the type of living arrangement that Next Door Garage Apartments provides.

An Affordable Solution

Sunday, April 4, 2010 by Next Door Garage Apartments Web Team
http://www.nextdoorgarageapartments.com/photogalleryAging is a fact of life.  Our parents who once seemed so robust and able to do almost anything are now getting older and are having a few problems with things that were once so easy for them: driving at night, a little forgetfulness here and there, and difficulty in cleaning and maintaining their home.

While it may be difficult for them to gracefully accept the progression of life, we know that it would be better for my mom to live closer to us, and to be free from the burden of taking care of her own home.  However, it is often not easy for mom or dad to move into the home of their adult child.  After having lived apart for so many years, there can be difficulty in the transition.  We have our own habits, preferences, and lifestyles; we like to have our own kitchen and living areas, so we won't feel like we're trespassing on the other's space.  A mother-in-law apartment is an ideal solution for the problem.

With garage remodeling from Next Door Garage Apartments, a two-car garage can be easily converted into an independent, adult-living space in only ten days - for a reasonable cost of $35,000.  Now, we can live close to each other so we can help our aging parents, and still give them the independence they need.

You can contact Next Door Garage Apartments for more information.
