Whether it’s converting a basement space, adding an extension to the house or building a separate home on your lot, get greater peace of mind knowing that your aging loved ones are nearby if they need a hand.
They’ll benefit from the dignity of living independently and you’ll have the convenience of a very short “commute” for family gatherings and safety check-ins.
We can help you plan for their current or future needs, such as:
an open concept to accommodate wheelchair and walker movement
flooring that minimizes the risk of slips, trips and falls
wiring and lighting to help make communication, vision and hearing as easy as possible
doors, cabinets and closet space that are simple to access
easy to grip/pull/push doorknobs, grab bars, handles, and fixtures
a fully accessible bathroom with handrails
a bedroom or bedrooms that ensure optimal comfort and rest
a kitchen or meal preparation area that prioritizes fire prevention safety
windows that offer natural light and fresh air
an area where they can socialize or host guests
a separate entrance, for greater privacy, deliveries and/or assisted living caretakers
We can assist you with city permit or inspections. We’re happy to help!
Converting the Space to a Rental Unit
In-law suites can also be converted to rental space for an adult child, relative or tenant. Doing so will increase your cash flow and/or pay the mortgage down faster.
