Spending your golden age in a home for the elderly does not interest you much?
And if you opt for a small village of mini houses with other retirees or even a mini house in a peaceful corner to enjoy your old age?
There are many benefits to ditching retirement homes in favor of tiny homes.
On the one hand, residences for the elderly are often extremely expensive and life there is not necessarily always pleasant for everyone. With mini houses adapted to the reality of the elderly, it allows them to manage longer on their own and to feel independent (and undoubtedly overall happier!).

Moreover, with age, it becomes difficult to maintain a large house or a large apartment. Life in a tiny house makes the daily life of older people less stressful and just as rewarding. To this effect, a 61-year-old pensioner named Adele Smith, told Today Home that she used to live in a big house, but no longer able to manage the huge space at her disposal and feeling alone, she chose life. in a tiny house. That’s how Adele went from a 1,300 square foot bungalow to a 140 square foot tiny house in Oregon.
A woman named Bette Presley, who was 72 in 2013, revealed in an interview with Sanluisobispo.com that she is delighted with the life she leads in her 160 square foot tiny home. At first, it allowed her to get back to basics, with few personal effects, but she was also able to reconnect with nature. His mini house is equipped with solar panels and is autonomous.

In addition, mini houses can be easily adapted to meet the physical and psychological needs of older people: loss of autonomy, wheelchair access, visual or voice assistance, etc.
According to My Modern Met, a 2015 survey found that 30% of tiny home residents were between the ages of 51 and 70. This is therefore an important part of the tiny house market and more and more companies are specializing in small residences specially designed for the elderly.
The tiny house movement for retirees has gained momentum in the United States, but the trend is also emerging in several other countries.
