granny pod
A small house on one's property, separate from the main house, that serves as a permanent home for one's aging parents. Also called a "granny pad." With this granny pod, I get to see my family all the time, while still having a place of my own that is easy to maintain. Just don't call me "Granny"! I love that my grandparents are right across the yard in their granny pod now. I would only see them a few times a year when they lived in their old house in the city. My mother doesn't want to live with me, but I want to be able to keep an eye on her, so the granny pod has been a very nice compromise.
