A guy named Patrick Chastenet made the decision to build a modest wooden studio in his yard for his elderly father in order to accommodate him and keep him out of a nursing facility.
Along with his wife Marie-Laure, Patrick Chastenet resides in France with his 83-year-old father.
The elderly guy did not want to move into a nursing home when he could no longer live alone.
The expense of living in these specialised facilities may also be rather substantial; for example, Patrick would have had to spend 2,000 euros a month to house his father in a retirement facility.
“He didn’t want to return to an apartment or a retirement community.
We had to locate another location since the home was not designed to accommodate this many guests, remarked Marie-Laure Chastenet.
After that, Patrick and Marie-Laure made the decision to buy a little wooden studio and put it in their backyard.
They spent 37,000 euros in total building this lodge old people’s garden studio․
The wooden studio is 15 square metres in size and includes a living room, kitchen, and bathroom.
The chalet has been specifically created to allow Patrick’s father to move about comfortably in a wheelchair.
It has been furnished for his well-being. Additionally, the elderly or those with limited mobility can use the restrooms.
This specially designed residence allows the elderly guy to be near to his family while still maintaining his freedom and autonomy.
Both at home and with us, he is. Patrick said, “He has his own space, but if there is a problem, there is just 5 metres to go to see him.
In order to host guests, care for elderly family members, or set up an office, more and more individuals nowadays choose to construct a garden studio next to their home.
This solution helps to develop family relationships in addition to saving money on a retirement home.
Patrick’s father had resided many hundred kilometres away from his son before moving into this garden studio.
He now has more time to spend with his family and enjoy his grandkids.
