What Makes Alternative Dwelling Units the Perfect Alternative to Nursing Homes?

 

With the aging population, the requirement for budget-friendly, available housing is becoming a pressing concern. Most cities have expensive lifestyles and are overcrowded, which compels homeowners to resort to alternative housing methods for their aging grandparents and parents. Additional dwelling units from BOSS are a brilliant option to add to your existing property. Most adults would choose ADU house kit over other housing means for their loved ones because of their various benefits.

Apart from helping your family stay closer to you, it also helps you to save on high property prices and expensive nursing home fees and enables senior citizens to enjoy their level of independence.

Are ADU Units More Affordable than Nursing Homes?

This is a tricky question, as various factors contribute to the cost of your nursing home and building. Nursing homes are of different types, from retirement communities to continuing care units. What makes them different is the care they provide to the residents. The more care the unit offers, the most expensive the monthly fee gets.

On the other hand, ADUs from BOSS can be purchased with a Permit Package. This saves you the hassle and money involved in having to frequent the concerned office to gather Title 24 Certification, engineer-stamped structural drawings, foundation and site plan, and FM approval certificate. Plus, the ADUs also come equipped with ready pre-installed plumbing and electrical facilities. 

On buying an ADU, you aren’t investing in housing for your loved one but also adding value to your existing property.

How is ADU More Preferrable than Nursing Homes?

Additional dwelling units have various benefits different from nursing homes, so you might want to ask yourself if ADU will better cater to your requirements than a nursing home.

Additional Support vs. Staying Closer 

If you are considering a housing option for an ailing relative that needs constant and frequent care, then nursing is better. However, this might mean you must stay farther away from your loved one. But if the distance is your major concern, then weather-resistant ADU is just what you need.

SLong Term vs. Short Term

If you are considering short-term living for your ailing relative, then a nursing home is an economical choice. However, if you need to keep your loved ones closer so that you can look after them and give them all the love they need in their retirement years, then ADU is a better choice. This is because ADU is a permanent, well-ventilated structure with PIR insulation to ensure climate-controlled interiors.

Are ADUs Easily Accessible for The Disabled?

The ability to direct the floorplan customizable is proof that a family member or resident will find comfort in their stay at the ADU. Therefore, accommodation can be created for different ability levels. Some easy bathroom alterations include a walk-in shower or a bar inside a tub. In addition, you can consider larger-scale alterations, like installing ADU at the grade level to escape the stairs.

To ensure mental peace, think of smart home features like putting sensors on doors or motion sensor lights. BOSS’s FM-approved and CA-certified ADU home kits come with a deadbolt door locking system and double-paned glass windows for safety. Look for medicine cabinet sensors to get help with monitoring medications. Choose a voice-activated feature in case your loved ones fall during their stay and you need to be informed.
