We help you plan, design, and permit ADUs built for long-term living. A space that works for your needs now and in the future.
We pride ourselves on guiding real people through one of life's most
important decisions, with clarity, care, and no pressure.
“We didn’t know where to start when we decided to add an ADU for my mom. AIF ADU made the whole process feel manageable. Their pre-designed plans were thoughtfully laid out with wider doorways, step-free entry, and a bathroom that actually made sense for aging in place, things we wouldn’t have known to ask for on our own. We were in construction within weeks of our first call. It felt like the plan was already waiting for us.”
"My husband and I are both in our early 70s, and we knew we wanted to stay in our home for the long haul, but we also wanted the flexibility to have a caregiver nearby if we ever needed one. AIF ADU worked with us to design a custom ADU that blended beautifully with our main house while being fully accessible. Every detail was considered; grab bars that didn’t look institutional, lever-style door handles throughout, and a separate entrance that gave everyone privacy. We couldn’t be happier with how it turned out.”
“I'd been living with a mobility challenge for years and just kept putting off the renovations I knew I needed. AIP Living came in, assessed my entire home, and gave me a clear plan that prioritized the most impactful changes first. The bathroom remodel alone changed my daily life. No more fear of slipping, no more awkward workarounds. They treated my home with care and treated me with dignity. I wish I'd called them sooner.”
“Partnering with AIP ADU has been one of the most natural fits in our referral network. Our clients are seniors who want to tap their home equity to live better, and AIP ADU gives that equity a purpose. Whether it’s building a pre-designed ADU, creating a custom accessible space, or remodeling an existing home, they handle the project with professionalism and genuine compassion. Our clients come back to us feeling confident and cared for. That reflects well on everyone involved, and we’re proud to recommend them.”
Most homeowners do not realize what is possible. They know they need something that supports how they live today, but have not been shown how thoughtful planning can also support them over time. At the same time, many families are looking for ways to bring parents or grandparents closer, creating a multi-generational support system that connects families even more.
Many of the people we work with are facing situations like these:

An ADU, or Accessory Dwelling Unit, is a fully independent living space built on your existing property. We specialize in Aging in Place ADUs and Solutions designed specifically for long-term comfort, safety, and independence as needs change over time. Features often include single story floor plans, reduced thresholds and transitions, wider doorways, grab bar supports and much more!
For many families, an Aging in Place ADU can also solve a practical problem: keeping loved ones close while still maintaining privacy and independence. As the need for multi generational living solutions grows, this is a great option for supporting aging parents and aging parents supporting their adult children’s family.
An Aging in Place ADU is a living space designed to support safety, comfort, and independence over time. It can be a separate ADU or part of a broader home solution, depending on your property and needs.
The cost depends on the type of solution that makes the most sense for your property and your needs. Our pre-designed ADU plans are the most popular option due to value and time saved, while our custom solutions and existing home remodel fee vary based on size, needs, and city requirements. Our goal is to help you first understand what is possible, then provide clear pricing based on the right path for your situation.
The more useful question early on is: what does it cost to not plan ahead? A fall that leads to a hospital stay, a rushed decision about assisted living, a retrofit that requires opening finished walls those costs add up quickly and arrive without warning. We help you understand the full picture so the decision is based on real numbers, not assumptions.
It depends on the path you choose. A pre-designed ADU plan, particularly one already pre-approved in your city, moves significantly faster through permitting, usually 1-3 months from the time that we start to plan approval. In terms of the Custom solutions, there are variables that will determine the length of time which we can discuss further. We'll give you a realistic timeline for your situation early in the process.
We specialize in planning, design, and permitting. We are not a general contractor and we don't do the construction. You can work with your own General Contractor or one of the licensed contractors within our trusted network who are familiar with our plans and have agreed to value pricing.
There are several ways people choose to pay, depending on the type of project and their financial situation. Some clients pay with cash or credit card, while others use financing options such as construction loans, ADU-specific loans, or lending programs designed for older homeowners. Depending on your situation, there may also be state or local grant programs available. We can help you understand the options and connect you with the right resources.
