"Granny Pods" Keep Elderly Close, At Safe Distance

Are you concerned enough about an elderly loved one to let them live in your backyard but not your house? Then a "Granny Pod" might be right for you. From the article: "The granny pod's real name is the MEDCottage, and it's basically a mini mobile home that rents for about $2,000 a month. You park one in the backyard, hook it up to your water and electricity, and it becomes a free-standing spare room for Grandma and Grandpa."
