When Mr. Reyes was diagnosed with early-stage Parkinson's, the family needed a solution fast. Moving him to assisted living felt premature—he was still independent—but the two-story family home no longer worked. Rather than sell and relocate everyone, they added a 500 sq ft single-level wing off the back of the house. The attached ADU shares a wall with the main home's kitchen, making check-ins easy while preserving Dad's dignity and independence. The entrance is fully accessible—zero threshold, wide doorways, lever handles throughout. The bathroom features a curbless roll-in shower with fold-down bench and handheld sprayer. But it doesn't look clinical. Clean contemporary finishes, a full kitchen with induction cooktop, and large sliding doors to a private patio make the space feel like a modern apartment, not a medical unit. Dad hosts his poker nights there now. The family eats dinner together most evenings. And when more care is eventually needed, the infrastructure is already in place.
