Seniors move into a 2-story Tiny House – A Risky Decision?

Not having to go up and down stairs to use the restroom is super smart as far as risk reduction goes!

I gotta say, it's very functional. I don't even know this fella, but if he's already taken a fall, I'd be mighty concerned about those stairs to his bedroom!

These type of really functional tiny homes & villages are really so great for older folks to keep being independent & being able to stay at their own home. I love it!!! ❤

A beautiful home for a beautiful couple. Thanks for sharing.

I absolutely love this one I love the porch and the outside mixed terrier and to get inside and see all that this one's my all-time favorite

Having that upstairs bathroom is an important safety feature … it really all depends on their knees, their balance and strength. Having close stairs that they’re comfortable with and having plenty of handholds creates a lot of inherent safety. I do hope there’s a long term plan if the upstairs becomes physically unavailable, but getting the regular exercise of using the stairs should help them maintain.

I am younger than they are and could do those stairs but the lady appears to be having a lot of mobility issues there & not just on the stairs! I hope they don’t find the upstairs sleeping was a big mistake in a year or so. We all get to make decisions for ourselves and good or bad, I will continue to make my own decisions and so should they!

The cladding on the second story...!!!! INCREDIBLY AWESOME!!😂

I really appreciated this video. Getting really old means different adaptations in your home and Alice and Ron have done a great job.

What a sweet couple and a cute tiny home! I’ve been watching ITH videos for years now and I believe these tiny homes should be in every state. I wish we had an ITH community in CT.

Love your house. Everyone has a style for sure. I saw the house on INCREDIBLE TINY HOMES when it was being built. Im not a fan of thee patina look, but noyhing wrong with it if you enjoy that design. Fabulous idea with a five inch rise on rhe stairs. I have used staurs like that before and it makes such a difference. Were you able to do that inside. I also am a senior and movement and keep walking is so important. I use a walker for walking just to keep stability as I enjoy doing so. I have a bar in my femer to the hip so mobility is very important. Keep moving, do more movement each day , love life ,be happy. You truly are living freedom. 😊 ❤

I am addicted to watching these tiny home videos. A few things that i absolutely love… you can truly see one’s potential and how one could allow their mind and creativity to run wild. I Lovei it!

They are sweet, bless their hearts. I am glad there are people who care about them at the tiny home community.

Thank you for showing us this great tiny home ❤

One of my fav tiny homes!!!

I hope this works out for them, but I'm not so sure a tiny home (scary amount of stairs) was the best solution for their situation. Best of luck to them!

Gorgeous home that is actually LIVEABLE. I agree with the open shelving in the kitchen. Makes it look more cluttered.

Oh how I love this house.Beautiful ❤

I must say, you guys have a very nice home there. I absolutely live the kitchen.

Sweet couple ❤
