Is a Granny Pod on your bucket list? They are miniature, backyard "she-sheds" that are made to provide Grandma a place of her own that is within a stone's throw of the rest of the family. Even better, inside Granny Pods are specially constructed with Seniors in mind. And they are much more than a room outfitted with additional medical needs. Officially called ADUs, or Accessory Dwelling Units, these cottages are designed to provide a cozy, personal space where Grandma can safely relax in privacy, while still being able to have visitors or pop into the main house for family time. They offer a wonderful way to keep the family connected while ensuring that Senior family members have what they need for safe and happy living.
