<\/p>\nSeann and Ginny cannot boast of good material wealth.They have a small house with a plot with only three rooms.There is no place even for a pet.<\/p>\n
One bedroom is occupied by a student-daughter, the second by a son and daughter-in-law. This is how a big friendly family would live if one day misfortune had not knocked on the small house.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sean’s parents lived together for more than 60 years and did not need outside help. But age is taking its toll: George has dementia, <\/p>\n
and Bonnie could no longer care for her husband because she had recently broken her hip and was not yet <\/p>\n
able to move without a stroller. The old people could no longer rely on each other and needed help.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Ginny suggested that her husband sell the old people’s house and their own in order to look for more spacious housing with enough room for everyone. <\/p>\n
Sean looked for options for a long time, but there was still not enough money. There was only one way out <\/p>\n
to send the parents to a nursing home and visit them there as much as possible. This thought made my son feel a pang in his chest, because it was akin to betrayal.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Why should he send his father and mother to an almshouse, where they will have to live in different rooms? <\/p>\n
Old people are so attached to each other that they will lose the meaning of life if they are separated. <\/p>\n
While Jenny was trying to negotiate a loan with the bank, Sean found a way out of the situation. With his own hands he will make a separate room for his parents, but in his own home.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
A recreation room was equipped in the basement. There was a billiard table and two sofas. The large room needed to be insulated <\/p>\n
and renovated. The money from the sale of my parents’ house was just enough for reconstruction. <\/p>\n
Sean not only built a toilet and shower in the basement, but also installed a small kitchen.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Now this is a full-fledged apartment, into which the son and daughter-in-law can drop in at any time to help the elderly. <\/p>\n
