Cost Comparison
A garden annex may help some families reduce reliance on care home fees while keeping a loved one close. It is not a substitute for professional care.
For some families, a garden annex may work out less expensive than several years of care home fees, while allowing a loved one to stay close to home. Actual costs depend on specification, groundworks, utilities and care needs.
Please note: A garden annex is not a substitute for professional care. Where care needs are significant, families should speak to appropriate healthcare or social-care professionals before making long-term decisions.
Important Considerations
Lodges typically require larger plots and wider access than caravans. They can offer more space and comfort, subject to planning and site suitability — a survey is typically required to confirm feasibility.
Lodges typically range from 40x13ft to 45x20ft (approx 12-14m x 4-6m). They require minimum 3.5-4m access width and may need crane installation if direct access is limited. Larger plots are essential.
Lodge installation is more complex than caravans due to size and weight. Professional site surveys are essential to assess access, ground conditions, and positioning. Budget for substantial base preparation and potential crane costs.
