Nursing homes are designed to serve usually elderly patients who require long-term, therapeutic and preventive care. Residents normally have non-acute medical conditions and are frail but not bedridden. They may need canes or walkers to help them get around and aid with everyday tasks such as eating, dressing and washing. Designing a room or bed-sit for an older person is best achieved by placing yourself in that person's shoes and by thinking through how to compensate for the possible limitations imposed upon their lifestyle. You don't want to be too pessimistic, but it also pays to plan for days when the person's capacities could be reduced. Modular Homes are not those old trailers you see in mobile home parks or low income housing shelters. Gone are the early days of temporary looking structures, modular housing construction has undergone a designing renaissance over the last decade.

Today, modular homes are the latest trendy way to own an exclusive home in a style that you will enjoy - all at a fraction of the cost of a traditional home. So often I have found that people have seen a design in a magazine, or in a model home, thought it was beautiful, and then either tried to duplicate it or hired an interior decorator to give them that look. More often than not, they are dissatisfied with the final outcome, either because they are uncomfortable in their new surroundings, or they have lost functionality, or they have overspent and are now house poor.
