A Great Alternative for Senior Housing

Monday, July 12, 2010 by Next Door Garage Apartments Web Team
http://nextdoorgarageapartments.com/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.  Contact Next Door Garage Apartments for more information on this affordable senior housing option.

When you have elderly parents that are no longer able to live on their own, there is a simple solution that will allow them to feel as if they are still living on their own!  Some elderly parents will feel like they are a burden if they come to live with you. But you can change that with the remodel of a garage option into a spacious apartment. You can make your parents living with you easier when they are living Next Door. They feel as if they have only moved to an assisted living apartment and have the best people to call on, you.

To remodel a garage, the conversion into a apartment is fast at most being completed in 10 days. When you remodel the garage into a temporary home for your elderly parents, when the parents are no longer in need of the garage apartment, they can convert the apartment back into a garage.

You will feel better about having your elderly parents nearby while they feel better living on their own. You are free to check on them with them being right there while they have the freedom to live on their own making them feel as if they have not become such a burden for you when it comes for caring for them. For most of the two car garages, you will be able to give your elderly parents the apartment that they can feel at home in with a bathroom which has all the amenities, a bedroom that can be separate from the living area and a kitchen to prepare their own meals in as well as a area to sit in to enjoy your dinner. The converted apartment will have its own running water, heat and airconditioning which allows your parents to feel as if this is not an actual garage but an apartment and its affordable.

You've just received a call from the hospital.  It's the one you were dreading; the soft voice from a compassionate nurse echoes through your mind as you hang up the phone.  You're dazed.  Dad had always taken care of Mom—now what will happen to her?  Obviously there's no question.  You don't have the money for a retirement home.  You're about to be treated to a crash course in the fine art of taking care of an elderly parent, because your elderly parent is moving in.

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.

http://www.nextdoorgarageapartments.com/photogalleryEvery parent who is active wants to remain independent and in control of their lives.  If they want to have a mid-morning snack at 10:00 a.m., or supper at 10:00 p.m., they want to have the ability and freedom to make the choice without asking for permission or disturbing other members of the household. 

Every child of that parent wants the same; they want their parent to be independent, and yet within easy reach, should the necessity arise to give them aid.  The answer to active senior living is about converting garage into room; room that provides everything an active aging parent could want - and within easy reach while being right next door!

This type of home remodeling creates quality apartment living that provides a great way to care for an aging parent.  At the end of the day, both the parent and the children taking care of the parent, feel good about their decision.  For anyone taking care of elderly parents, contact us at Next Door Garage Apartments for more information about this excellent housing option.
