Instant Guest Homes is a Family First Company

A Complete Solution

Instant Living provides a complete solution that keeps families together while giving both the family member and their caregiving loved-ones independence, security and continuing wonderful memories. Instant Living produces small homes that are installed in a back or side yard, on a permanent foundation, to accommodate your loved-ones!

Instant Living include all the amenities of a house: a kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, and a living/dining room, as well as modern technologies that mean an adult child or elder family member are never far from touch. Elder adults who live in our homes spend more quality time with their families and have continuing involvement that contributes to their sense of purpose and belonging.

Keeping Families Together

Our solution keeps the family together while maximizing a person’s autonomy, dignity, privacy and safety, as well as keeping an emphasis on family and inclusion. That’s why, at Instant Living, we always ask the question, “how many precious memories are you willing to lose?”
