Granny Pods: A Compromise Housing Solution for Elders

A granny pod is basically a cottage for elders. The tiny home-like structures are adjacent to your main house and serve a purpose to housing elders. The pods are usually way smaller than the main houses and fit for one to two persons. The structure usually consists of a kitchenette, a bathroom, and a bedroom that often aids as a humble living room too. Not only do the pods have a different number of rooms and floor plans, but they also are different, in terms of its mobility and continuation. Some types of the granny pods are actually transportable; making it easy to be shipped in case you sell or move to a new property. Because the pods are meant for elders and somehow assist you in taking care of them, the pods are usually equipped with monitoring systems and other advanced technologies. The technology and system can be those that are obliged to medical supports, safety and security assurances, and also entertainment instruments. As much as we want to keep our parents or other senior family members close, there are also some issues that make it a foul to have them sharing the same roof. Granny pods are a good alternative to nursing home facilities. Worry no more of not being able to see your favorite elders every day because these pods can be built right into your backyard.
