Turning Our House into a Care Home
Posted by Van on June 11, 2009
For the last few years, I have been working as a nurse and my husband has as well to support our family. But now, our children are older and are going away to college, so we have some extra space in our house and saw the possibility of making some extra revenue, so we have decided to take this opportunity to do what we have always dreamed of - running our own care home.
But before we can do that, there are a number of things that we have had to change in our home to make it more accessible to seniors. Our first challenge was deciding what do to about the stairs.
We were able to find some stair lifts that fit perfectly in our home which meant that we could also use the second story to house more clients. There were some changes that we made in our living room as well, such as adding lift chair recliners to help those with decreased mobility have the option to sit in a chair and watch television.
Hopefully, we will have everything organized by the end of the month and then we can start accepting patients. I am really excited to not only help people, but finally realize our dream of owning our own business. I just can’t wait!
