A innovative approach to seniors’ housing that originated in Australia, the so-called "granny flat" is a detached housing unit which can be placed in the yard of an existing family home. Intended solely for occupancy by an elderly parent or parents of the owner of the main house and property, the self-contained units are designed to be temporary and portable, so that they can be removed and relocated when no longer required. 1, record 1, English, - Portable%20Living%20Units%20for%20Seniors

Le «pavillon grand-mère» est une idée innovatrice pour le logement des personnes âgées qui nous vient d'Australie et qui consiste à installer un logement individuel sur le terrain d'une maison unifamiliale existante. Destiné uniquement à être utilisé par les parents de l'un des propriétaires de la maison principale et du terrain, ce logement autonome est conçue de façon à être facilement enlevé et placé ailleurs lorsqu'il n'est plus nécessaire. 1, record 1, French, - Logements%20mobiles%20pour%20personnes%20%C3%A2g%C3%A9es
