By using shipping containers as the base for an outhouse, the building could be easily dropped into any properties land via a crane. This allows each unit to be reusable to be passed onto the next pensioner. This ‘granny pod’ system would be drastically cheaper than paying for traditional nursing homes whilst allowing the older generation to have more interaction with the family. For example, this would allow grandparents to have daily interaction with their grandchildren. Other specifications will also be helpful for the elderly population. Sliding doors and bathroom handles for example, will be more appropriate for customers with movement disabilities.
The containers will be linked to a emergency call network with call buttons for nurse attendance, this is to work in conjunction with the local government to save money looking after elderly people and
delaying the time for complete care. The occupants can stay in the containers and get looked after by their family, the local authority services, nurses, meals on wheels and so on...
