Keep Mom and Dad close — without giving up anyone's independence.
Find out if your property can fit a small, one-level home for your parents — before you spend a dollar on design.
The free check is a quick first look — not a full report.
Your parents want to stay out of assisted living. You want them close enough to check in, share dinner, and help when it matters. But moving them into a spare bedroom isn't fair to anyone — and assisted living can run thousands of dollars a month.
An accessory dwelling unit is a small, separate home on your property — its own kitchen, bathroom, and front door. Your parents keep their privacy and their routines. You're a few steps away instead of a long drive.
Why families choose it
One-level living
No stairs to climb, now or ten years from now.
Safety built in
Wide doorways, a walk-in shower and grab bars from day one.
Close, not crowded
Daily check-ins without anyone giving up their privacy.
Flexible later
Becomes a rental or guest space when life changes.
