info_outlineYou can turn your home into senior housing anywhere from independent living up to Assisted Living. Independent living is senior safe. I mean grab bars, smoke detectors, wider doors, trip hazards removed. That home itself maybe has four bedrooms. There's four different people living there. Now if you have a home right now that is maybe on a single level that could be converted to four bedrooms and maybe there's at least two bathrooms, so there's two people to a bathroom or maybe you add some extra bathrooms. Being close to different activities as well. Libraries, grocery shopping, movies, those kinds of things are more important for independent living, That could be a good transformation or conversion from your current home into some senior housing.
Assisted Living means somebody is there to take care of them. We provide a service for them, and you need to get it ready because Assisted Living means there's going to be caregivers that there. They're not necessarily living in the house with them, live in caregivers, but if you are doing it that way, there might be a room that's designated for the caregivers. The conversion itself is fairly similar, senior safe, but there may be a few more requirements to make sure it's appropriate for assisted living.
