Modular Home In-law Suites
Why Build a Modular In Law Suite?
Aging parents can be a major stressor in life. Often our parents require additional care, but do not need to be moved into an institution. Building a new modular home with an inlay suite attached or adding a modular in law suite to an existing home have a multitude of benefits.
Assisted Living and Nursing Homes
The average monthly cost for self paid assisted living for seniors is four thousand dollars a month or forty eight thousand dollars a year. Nursing homes on the other hand are typically twice that amount or over a one hundred thousand dollar annually. Building a modular inlay suite to your home with proceeds found from the sale of your parent home can provide comfortable living space for your parents and additional equity in your home.
Enhanced Family Relationships
An inlay suite will enhance family relationships. The old adage of how you treat your parents is how your children will treat you. Having your aging mother or father allows interaction for inter generational living.
Peace of Mind
If you are like me, I could not place my mother into a nursing home. When she broke her hip, she was place in a nursing home disguised as a therapy center. My wife and I visited Mags three times a day to insure quality care. Moving your parent or parents into a modular home addition attached to your home will give you the peace of mind of knowing how your parents are being treated.
Affordable Care Givers
Eliminating the the huge cost of a nursing home can provides funds to hire a care giver for your aging parent. The cost to care for aging parents is not only a financial cost, but an emotional price to pay. You can hire a care giver or pay for adult day care to save your life, career and marriage.
Safety
When you design your modular home inlay suite floor plan, you can include all of the required design elements. Handicap accessible bathrooms and kitchens. Easy access with wider doors to all of the spaces, entry ramps and more. In addition you could install a video monitoring system for the home.
Independence
Mom or Dad living in an inlay suite will have the opportunity to maintain their independence. You have the security of being able to maintain your parents living conditions. As your parents age you will need to help you parents more and more, with a modular home in law suite you can still give them the perception of the ever important feeling of independence.
Privacy
In-law suites either connected to an existing home or built as a free standing modular cottage provide privacy for your parents and your self. Maintaining space between you and your parents is very important if you have decide to host your parents.
Family Togetherness
An inlay suite provides the perfect opportunity for meals together as a family. In addition it gives everyone an opportunity to complete chores together. You will have another hand to minimize time doing chores. You get to reverse the roles and boss your parents around - just joking - uh - no I am not.
Resale Value
A home with an in law suite will have higher resale value. The inlay suite can be used for a number of uses. The uses include a home office or business, living accommodations for returning children, guest quarters and space for hobbies. If your community allows you to rent the space, rent the space for income.
The benefits to building a modular inlay suite or home has many advantages to consider. Remember, how you treat your parents is how your children will most likely treat you.
