“Why I Built a Granny
Flat Instead of Sending Mom to a Care Facility.”
A Real-Life Solution for Multigenerational Families That’s Close to Home — Literally
Caring for an aging parent doesn’t have to mean choosing between a costly care facility or overcrowding your home.
A Backyard Pod offers a third option — one that provides dignity, privacy, and daily connection, just steps from your back door.
It’s a modern granny flat designed for independent living, right in your own backyard.
Let’s be honest: most retirement facilities are very expensive and don’t feel like home.
The Alternative That Can Change Everything:
Instead, choose a one-time investment in a custom-built
Backyard Pod.
For roughly $100,000 upfront (or about $787/month financing), you’ll create a beautiful, private space that Mom can truly call her own — right in our backyard.
The Real Payoff: Moments That Matter
Once the pod is built, your family will get:
Morning coffee chats
Garden strolls
Cookie-baking sessions with the grandkids
Peace of mind knowing she’s close — but still has her own space
There are no long drives. No guilt. No missed birthdays.
Just real moments that we’d never trade for anything.
