As our loved one’s age, ensuring their safety and comfort becomes a high priority. Many families face the question of how to provide elderly parents or relatives with a living space that combines independence and support that is also easily accessible should the elderly need any assistance.

Garden annexes have become a popular solution for homing elderly parents without the stress and hassle of moving them into an elderly care home. Elderly people often value their independence and the ability to live comfortably in their own home.

Accessibility and Adaptability

Garden annexes can be designed with accessibility in mind for elderly parents that may need additional support, incorporating features such as ramps, wide doorways, and safety bars to ensure easy movement and enhanced safety for elderly parents.

The design team at Hawksbeck Annexes can work with your family to discuss the needs of your garden annexe to ensure the layout and design are accommodating to your specific requirements.

Proximity To Family Home

A principial advantage of a Hawksbeck garden annexe is the proximity to the family home. The proximity provides peace of mind and security for both the family and elderly parent as both are easily accessible should they need assistance. The short distance provides a sense of security and comfort and prevents elderly parents from feeling isolated which is a common issue in care homes.
