Senior Citizen Self-Designed Retirement Home?

Empress Jan asked:


If you had the chance to help design a new group home for the over-50 set, with minimal medical, but still a safe place, what would you like to add to the house? Assuming we have a nice kitchen and other basics, for our age group, what would be great?

Garage for you guys to do your car work in? Small dance floor for parties? How about a garden (ok, that’s for me!) And a sun roof, definately eco-friendly too.

um, keep it clean - we don’t want the kids to see!
These are so GREAT!!
