Video produced by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. Many of Canada’s elderly live independently, but sometimes need help taking care of their homes. Seniors, renovators and caregivers will want to see this two-part video: Garden Suites, about creating a small, self-contained home in the yard of a larger house; and Marguerite Chown’s story of how minor home renovations allowed her to remain in her home despite her reduced mobility. 1, record 1, English, - Garden%20Suites%20%26%20Marguerite%20Chown%27s%20Renovation%20Story

Vidéo produite par la Société canadienne d'hypothèques et de logement. Nombre de Canadiens âgés vivent de manière autonome, mais ont parfois besoin d'aide pour entretenir leur maison. Les personnes âgées, les rénovateurs et les fournisseurs de soins trouveront certainement utile cette vidéocassette en deux parties : la première porte sur les pavillons-jardins, c'est-à-dire l'aménagement d'un petit logement autonome sur le terrain d'une maison plus grande, et la seconde montre comment les petites rénovations apportées à la maison de Marguerite Chown lui ont permis de rester autonome chez elle, en dépit d'une mobilité réduite. 1, record 1, French, - Les%20pavillons%2Djardins%20et%20l%27histoire%20de%20Marguerite%20Chown
