Provide the Emotional Support Active Senior Citizens Need

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

Active Senior Living 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. Yet, an active senior living alone may slip into a depression that will hasten the feebleness that so many fall victim to.

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.

Saturday, May 22, 2010 by Next Door Garage Apartments Web Team

Next Door Garage Apartments There are advantages to an older adult living in an apartment attached to an adult child's residence. These include security and peace of mind for all parties involved. An adult child can look in on an older adult to monitor their needs and manage medications. The older adult can eat meals with the rest of the family. Transportation to appointments and running errands for elderly parents is easier when the parents are next door. A Next Door Garage Apartment makes this scenario a reality. Next Door Garage Apartments are designed with this type of situation in mind. These apartment units fit into the space of a two-car garage.

A Next Door Garage Apartment is a quick solution when an adult child needs to help care for an aging parent. With installation complete in as little as ten days, an older adult can be ready to move in without waiting months for a costly home addition to be completed. Next Door Garage Apartments provide living and sleeping space, a small kitchen and a bathroom--all that is needed for a disabled or older adult family member to live independently, yet within a few steps of a caring and loving family. Because there is a private entrance, there is a sense of ownership and independence for the older adult who resides in the apartment. They can have friends over, enjoy a private and quiet space while being footsteps away from family members who can assist them as needed.

A Next Door Garage Apartment is a good investment. At only $35,000 for the complete unit, it is much less than what it might might cost to share a room in an assistant living facility. When a Next Door Garage Apartment is no longer needed, it can be removed and the garage can be converted back to it's original state. Get more information on Next Door Garage Apartments.

Next Door Garage Apartment means independence

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

For situations like these, Next Door Garage Apartments has a unique solution.  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.  If you’ve checked into the price of adult retirement living, you know this is far less than you’d pay for your parent to live in an older adult living facility, and you have the peace of mind of having your parent nearby so you can oversee his or her care.  The apartment can easily be converted back to a garage when you no longer need it.  You can contact Next Door Garage Apartments for more information.

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.

Remodeling your garage for elderly parents

Friday, April 2, 2010 by Next Door Garage Apartments Web Team
http://www.nextdoorgarageapartments.com/photogalleryAs 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.

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.
