First, choose a floor.
You must have noticed that no matter which building, no matter which direction, except the top floor, the higher the other floors, the more expensive. Because in most people's minds, high floors have good air and low noise. But it is not absolute that the higher the housing, the better, especially for families with elderly people.
Comparatively speaking, the lower floors are more suitable for most families with old people and children. When there is an emergency, or when water and electricity are cut off, it is convenient for the elderly and children to go upstairs and downstairs, and they will not be so depressed psychologically. In addition, many elderly people like to go to the balcony for air, but the wind and noise on high floors are very loud, especially those with chronic bronchitis and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
However, if the elderly have requirements for vision, they can still choose a high floor, which has a wide vision, good privacy and plenty of sunshine.
Generally speaking, if you choose a high-rise or a small high-rise, the floor between 1/3 and 2/3 of the whole building is the best choice. Take the building with 2 1 as an example, the best floor is between 7- 14. These floors have good lighting and air, and if they are landscape buildings, the effect of viewing is also good; And at this height, standing on the balcony will not feel dizzy, which is very suitable for the elderly. In addition, this height is a certain distance from the ground and is not affected by road noise. Even if the elevator is broken, the old man with neat legs and feet will not find it too troublesome to climb the stairs.
However, if conditions permit, it is recommended that the elderly and children choose the low floors of the villa to avoid the impact of elevators on travel and avoid the problem of poor lighting on the low floors of high-rise buildings.
Second, choose the community
Due to age and physical reasons, the elderly pay special attention to the surrounding transportation, medical care and social service facilities when buying a house. For example, the elderly like to go to the river or park in the morning, buy food in the morning market, go for a walk after dinner in the evening, and sometimes go to the hospital to see a doctor. Many elderly people will first ask about the transportation and the supporting conditions of nearby medical institutions when looking at the house.
In addition, the choice of old-age housing should also pay attention to whether it is close to schools and kindergartens, because young parents have no time to take care of their children after school, and basically parents do it for them. Therefore, there must be educational places near the community to facilitate the elderly to look after their grandchildren, as well as the surrounding supermarkets, vegetable markets and pharmacies, which are all concerned by the elderly. Public facilities such as public places and fitness equipment in the community are also important criteria for the elderly to buy a house. Generally, buildings with many garden designs, large public communication space and many activity places are favored by the elderly. Imagine that after several white-haired old people become neighbors, it should be a natural and livable scene to walk and chat at home after dinner.
Second, choose an apartment.
If you are running in the family, you can choose more than three bedrooms, and the duplex structure is particularly good, which can avoid the mutual interference caused by different work and rest habits to the greatest extent. If the elderly live alone, it is suggested that the total area should not be greater than 70㎡. If the area is too large, it is easy to appear empty and cold, and it is not easy to clean it.
Try to choose a transparent structure in the north and south, at least to ensure that the bedroom and living room face south or southeast. Most old people like warm and bright feeling. Therefore, good lighting and ventilation are the first choice.
Many old people like to plant some flowers and plants in their own homes in their spare time. A house with a balcony, terrace or private garden on the first floor is most suitable for the elderly who like to grow flowers and grass. When choosing the apartment area, it should not be too large and the decoration structure should be as compact as possible.
