It's amusing to see and hear what young people think us elder people do. A few realities about live-in homes for elders. They are normally quite sprawling and one story only, as joints and balance become a bit iffy as we grow older. Multi-story homes usually have elevators and at least one elevator that is large enough for a wheelchair, as while mobility may be compromised, overall health and brain power often isn't. A swimming pool would be indoors for year round use and shallow enough to stand up in, likely also used as a therapy/exercise pool. Exterior stairs would be ramps. Most senior living facilities here in the USA also have a small chapel, a large group dining room, and a large commercial style kitchen in which the employees of the residence cook meals and then serve to the residents in the dining room. Residents, if they have other personal plans for meals out, can let the kitchen staff know ahead of time to either prepare a "to-go" meal they can take to their rooms or not to prepare a meal for them at all. There is also oftentimes a women's styling salon staffed by local volunteers and a men's barber, same. These are not staffed daily. Oftentimes there is also a small gym. I don't know what's available in the UK and my only reference here in the US was the facility my mother lived in the last 2 years of her life. My mother's facility was an "Independent Living Facility", not a nursing home or "Skilled Care Living Facility". Lastly, besides wanting the devs to include a cane for elderly Sims, a walker, a mobility scooter, and a wheelchair would be nice, also. Mobility is a big issue, especially among folks who were athletic in their youth. Joints and cartilage wear out over time...
In my personal experience a couple retirement homes near me have indoor swimming pools but I’ve never seen one with an outdoor swimming pool. love the build ❤
I discovered your channel a few days ago and have binged watched every single video! I’m just learning to build so you’re really an inspiration♥️. The industrial penthouse was my favorite!
Croquet!!! (pronounced like crow-kay where I'm from) That's the game you mentioned, I love it so much and think it would be so darling in-game for elders 😭
this is so beautiful! i can now have a place for my elders who i cant let go😅 and also the sims should add more than 8 members bc i also plan to add dogs and cats in here ❤❤ tysm for this build ❤❤
They should add actual boat fishing since we can go water skiing and sail a boat, they should add fishing to the boat especially since elderly men love fishing out on open water. It would be a good avctivity addition to fishing and we could catch other deep water fishes that won’t show up in a ponf
They do have pools for elders, with the exception that they are indoors. It's quite beneficial for elders - they do gym in them, since it takes the pressure of their joints.
In the corner of the cafeteria you placed 2 chairs, didn't know if you noticed. Also, for the swimming pool, if their kids or grandkids come to visit that would be. Fun, cause I personally know a bunch of elders that like to sit in the lounge the and just watch their kids and grandkids have fun. And the word your looking for is cricket
Idk if a lot of retirement homes have pools but if you think about it it makes a lot of sense! A lot of older people do water exercises to help with joint pain
I just got a job at a retirement home so this is perfect timing for me! The attention to detail in this build is amazing. As always. I'm hoping the Sims 4 does a pack revolving around elders soon
my grandparents live in an assisted living home which is similar to a care home but for more able people, and a lot of assisted living homes have pools! love this build so much the attention to detail is insane
my grandmother's retirement home had a pool- it's actually pretty common in the southern USA. If you needed a lot of help there were aids who could help you use the pool and one of those seats that lowers you down. otherwise the residents could just use it themselves :D. wasn't very deep though lol
I think you did a wonderful job. Senior living homes have all sorts of things. The cafeteria is a beautiful touch and I love the game room. Elders and bingo would be cool for an elder stuff pack lol.
i was saving this video to watch tonight as it’s been one of those days!!! i just knew i was gonna need you after it haha! it was weird not watching your videos straight away but oh my goodness, this is so beautiful. i love the originality and uniqueness within your builds and cannot wait to place this down. sending lots of love xxx
I think you mean croquet and I agree it would be cool to have all that in a pack. Your build is beautiful and I love your garden too. I love the idea of a retirement home to, maybe if your families to big you can just kick them out in to this lovely place lol looks great 👍
I have been waiting sooooooooo long for you to build a retirement style home and omg you did not disappoint!!! This is absolutely gorgeous and will be used often💜 Thank you for another fabulous build!!
As a teen who lives in a retirement community with my grandparents with a pool, older people tend to just love our pool. Some of them despise it but theres just as many who swear by it and say it keeps them young... lol
YEEEESSSSS!!!! THANK YOU PIE!!! Community builds!!!! This will be so perfect for sending away my senile sim grand parents to 😇 P. S Do you have any interest in building an animal based home? Like a rescuer with a ton of dogs?
For elders, I would like to see mobility aids like stair lifts and zimmer frames and wheelchairs but it would be appropriate for them to be useable by sims of all ages as some people have mobility issues. Also ballroom dancing and cruises and casinos. Edit: and golf!
I never really able to build a mansion or a massive builds like this bc i bigger builds are very overwhelming for me. But idk why everytime i watch you build a massive buils, you make it so easy and simple to watch (if that make sense). This is so beautiful and every build of yours is always satisfying tp watch! 🥰 I have a request tho, can you renovate Judith's house? I mean since she's a global superstar or something, her house is just too sad to see 😂
Very very beautiful job and I agree with you about more stuff for elders,the game you are talking about is called croquette and it's a fun game to play IRL 😊😍🥰
the cafeteria is pretty realistic, at least in the retirement homes my family members have been in. they also dispense their meds in the same area, so it makes sense!
The game you were talking about is a lawn game called Croquet. It was the favorite game of the Queen of Hearts in Alice in Wonderland. :-). It's a lovely build.
21:30 Croquet, and I would utterly adore having croquet in the Sims 4, but it's a far bigger sport in Britain than the USA, unfortunately, so I highly doubt adding it would even cross anyone on the Sims team's mind.
Could players make retirement homes work by making it into like a club and hangout (with get together) and have the club activities be all the stereotypical elder activities like knitting/gardening/painting/etc. and possibly like lock certain doors for the residents with specific rooms or smthn like that?
Are you going to make your save file available for download? I have so many of your builds in my own game it just makes sense to actually use your save 😂 can I request so apartment renovations too please? ❤
Beautiful home! With the balls in the holes I think you're talking about boules? Is this what you mean? If so it makes so much sense. Google it maybe and let us know? It's beautiful this build and the garden is stunning. Would download as a family mansion!! Xx
Jess you almost nailed it. Beautiful build. I work in old age care they have a major kitchen that has chefs to supply food. They also have multiple places for activities they also have a cafeteria you nailed it. And multiple lounge rooms. Their rooms are decorated to who they are. They all have ensuites. The ones that can't afford a bigger room have much smaller ones. They have activities daily for those that want to join. Unfortunately they sell their souls to live out their life because they can't live on their own. Family throw their elders in places like this because they can't handle their stress. Understable but do they realize the care is NOT there! Under staffed but ones joining the career do it for money. Sorry l just feel so strongly about age care. More people need to know what happens in age care instead of being ingnangret. So sorry l love your build it's the sims after all. But maybe you could make a difference to how people think. You can delete this comment l don't mind.
She says "i really hope you guys like it" and then proceeds to build something equal to the Mona Lisa. We love ALL of your builds. 😊

This is beautiful. Maybe if they made a elder kit they could add retirement homes
buildings dont usually come with kits though. thats more for expansions packs
@mae ! that's true but I don't see them making an elders expansion
@@kimberlykilgore8412 growing together wouldve been the perfect opportunity to do it too 😩😩
I'd like ramps, elevators, handrails, wheelchairs, canes, and walkers. Maybe exercise classes in the pool. Bird watching.
The back garden is beautiful! One of your best ones yet
Ahhh I love the garden so much 🥹 thank you!
Does anyone else think her accent is so beautiful? Everything in this video is lovely.❤

gorgeous build as always!
the game with the archways and the wooden hammer is called croquet!
Yes! I couldn't remember how to spell it 😂
pronounced "crow-KAY", it's a french word, I think
Came here to say this 😂
In my personal experience a couple retirement homes near me have indoor swimming pools but I’ve never seen one with an outdoor swimming pool. love the build ❤
I discovered your channel a few days ago and have binged watched every single video! I’m just learning to build so you’re really an inspiration♥️. The industrial penthouse was my favorite!

Elders deserve the best the world can offer. Much respect Jess 💚
Croquet!!! (pronounced like crow-kay where I'm from) That's the game you mentioned, I love it so much and think it would be so darling in-game for elders 😭
Oh cool would it be to see it!
I wish you'd make a mansion like this for a regular family! Having so many possible things for a super rich household would be so awesome
this is so beautiful! i can now have a place for my elders who i cant let go😅 and also the sims should add more than 8 members bc i also plan to add dogs and cats in here ❤❤ tysm for this build ❤❤
You can with MC Command centre! Although be careful when entering cas because it can delete members 🤣😅
The sport with little arches and a wooden hammer is croquet! - love the video by the way, beautiful build and so relaxing to watch 💞
Thank you! 🥹🥹🫶🏼
They should add actual boat fishing since we can go water skiing and sail a boat, they should add fishing to the boat especially since elderly men love fishing out on open water. It would be a good avctivity addition to fishing and we could catch other deep water fishes that won’t show up in a ponf
I personally would love to see casinos in the game. I agree with Tennis, but I'd also add air hockey tables too.
Love love this build!! Also the game with the lil arches and tiny wooden hammer things is croquet! My nana is a big fan of it lol
They do have pools for elders, with the exception that they are indoors. It's quite beneficial for elders - they do gym in them, since it takes the pressure of their joints.
In the corner of the cafeteria you placed 2 chairs, didn't know if you noticed. Also, for the swimming pool, if their kids or grandkids come to visit that would be.

amazing as always and so creative! i have never seen someone build a retirement home before so this is so cool
Thank you so much!
Idk if a lot of retirement homes have pools but if you think about it it makes a lot of sense! A lot of older people do water exercises to help with joint pain
love it, the spot that you were thinking of is called cricket.
Amazing build Jess you just knock it out of the park every time!!
totally picturing karokee night at this place and a susan boyle type who was afraid to sing her whole life pics up the mic and blows everyone away XD
I just got a job at a retirement home so this is perfect timing for me! The attention to detail in this build is amazing. As always. I'm hoping the Sims 4 does a pack revolving around elders soon
The yard game is called Croquet… my grandparents had it…we all played it growing up. So fun!
i cant explain how exited i am for your save file😭
my grandparents live in an assisted living home which is similar to a care home but for more able people, and a lot of assisted living homes have pools! love this build so much the attention to detail is insane
Thank you! 🥹
Love love love this build! This could also look like a wealthy family estate
i found this channel days ago and i already love all ur builds, you are so talented and creative. i hope u keep posting these videos!
my grandmother's retirement home had a pool- it's actually pretty common in the southern USA. If you needed a lot of help there were aids who could help you use the pool and one of those seats that lowers you down. otherwise the residents could just use it themselves :D. wasn't very deep though lol
Ah I don’t think it’s really a thing here in the uk! Quite surprised so many people have said a similar thing 😅
First time watching after I saw your homes on the gallery. Love this place! Elders definitely needed more love
Love it! The activity with the hammer and arches is croquet. 😁
I think you did a wonderful job. Senior living homes have all sorts of things. The cafeteria is a beautiful touch and I love the game room. Elders and bingo would be cool for an elder stuff pack lol.
Ahhh! Was so excited to see this build! I was really hoping you'd do a retirement home 💕 Looks amazing!
Thank you so much!! 🥹🫶🏼

🥹 thank you so much, the fact that my videos brings you comfort just makes my heart warm 🥹🫶🏼
21:33 the sport you're talking about is croquet! personally haven't played it but it does look fun :D
Happily, take 20 mins. Love this build. Tbh love all your builds.
I think you mean croquet and I agree it would be cool to have all that in a pack. Your build is beautiful and I love your garden too. I love the idea of a retirement home to, maybe if your families to big you can just kick them out in to this lovely place lol looks great 👍

In an elder/retirement pack could include canoeing or boating, fishing
YEEEESSSSS!!!! THANK YOU PIE!!! Community builds!!!! This will be so perfect for sending away my senile sim grand parents to 😇
P. S Do you have any interest in building an animal based home? Like a rescuer with a ton of dogs?
That’s a good idea!
For elders, I would like to see mobility aids like stair lifts and zimmer frames and wheelchairs but it would be appropriate for them to be useable by sims of all ages as some people have mobility issues.
Also ballroom dancing and cruises and casinos.
Edit: and golf!
So I've done this same thing, but you took it to another level. I'll definitely be adding this to my game! Another wonderful build!
Thank you! 🥰🥰
21:51 It is called croquet!
I'm gonna add Horseshoes to it,
since the Sims doesn't have Shuffleboard, Beautiful build!
Ah great idea!
Love your thought about the grouchy old Sim who hogs the TV. Maybe he’s a religious Coronation Street watcher! 😂
Wow this is so beautiful. I love what you did with the hedges 😍
I never really able to build a mansion or a massive builds like this bc i bigger builds are very overwhelming for me. But idk why everytime i watch you build a massive buils, you make it so easy and simple to watch (if that make sense). This is so beautiful and every build of yours is always satisfying tp watch! 🥰
I have a request tho, can you renovate Judith's house? I mean since she's a global superstar or something, her house is just too sad to see 😂
omg I just started a retirement home on my own. This is so beautiful and inspirational.
the game you were talking about is croquette! 21:42
Has anyone ever told you that you have a very soothing voice!!! You really sound like a reporter for the BBC
🤣😭 reporter for the bbc is a new one! But thank you so much 🫶🏼
Very very beautiful job and I agree with you about more stuff for elders,the game you are talking about is called croquette and it's a fun game to play IRL 😊😍🥰
Beautiful work, everything looks so great
This is stunning! Also,the activity you were describing is croquet! I knew exactly what you meant 😂
the cafeteria is pretty realistic, at least in the retirement homes my family members have been in. they also dispense their meds in the same area, so it makes sense!
The game you were talking about is a lawn game called Croquet. It was the favorite game of the Queen of Hearts in Alice in Wonderland. :-). It's a lovely build.
Thank you!
I’d love for you to build a hotel!!
please do a ranch once the horse expansion pack comes out i would LOVE to see how you would use everything from it
Beautiful build!! The sport with the arches and mallets is called croquet :)
Thank you!
Omg the size of this building! ❤
Elderly people can still swim 😭😭 I worked at an independent living facility before, aka what you’re building, and they had a pool 😅
21:30 Croquet, and I would utterly adore having croquet in the Sims 4, but it's a far bigger sport in Britain than the USA, unfortunately, so I highly doubt adding it would even cross anyone on the Sims team's mind.
this place is stunning 🤩
At 21:41 you're talking about croquet 😂
i love your builds 😍
that sport you were on about is called croquet :D
i really love build, and end up my save file with all your builds 😂❤
🥹🫶🏼
Always wanted a retirement home❤!!
I’d wanna see shuffle board for elders. And the game you were thinking of is croquet I believe… I could be wrong. 😅
absolutely beautiful as always ❤️ I eagerly await your save file because I'm tired of seeing EA's ugly builds
The sport you were talking about was croquet
This is incredible ❤
i think the ping pong table could be a filler for tennis
Old folk totally do excercises in the pool irl!
Are you talking about the Croquet game? With the wooden arches, balls, and mallets.
Yes!
Could players make retirement homes work by making it into like a club and hangout (with get together) and have the club activities be all the stereotypical elder activities like knitting/gardening/painting/etc. and possibly like lock certain doors for the residents with specific rooms or smthn like that?
I'm in love with 4his house im downloading sims 4 on mu computer instead playing on my xbox
Beautiful as always. However, My poor elder can't get into the building due to the lack of wheelchair accessibility.
This is so beautiful!
I'm just seeing this but I was just thinking about this.
Hey, so this can actually run as a retiment home with the new For Rent pack now !
Are you going to make your save file available for download? I have so many of your builds in my own game it just makes sense to actually use your save 😂 can I request so apartment renovations too please? ❤
There’s a retirement house on TikTok and they have a pool so this is perfect
Can you tell me what is it????
can you make copperdale bowling alley?
Okay, I don't get how you do the roofs. Like when I do my roofs it takes me like 2 hours and you make it look so easy!
Beautiful 😍
Jessica the entire vider: badminton, tennis
me: GOLFFF
Beautiful home! With the balls in the holes I think you're talking about boules? Is this what you mean? If so it makes so much sense. Google it maybe and let us know? It's beautiful this build and the garden is stunning. Would download as a family mansion!! Xx
Thank you! & it was croquet 🤣
@@Jessicapie 😂😂 I'm glad you know!! Xx
If I flatten the terrain would it mess up the landscaping? I hate terrain manipulate I just think it looks super weird no matter who does it
What are the flowers you use as a garden border? Which pack?
Now I wanna do a nursing home save lol
21:32 the sport you're thinking of is called Croquet. (I only know because of Alice in Wonderland lol)
The “hire chef” option isnt removed, you need to click on the fridge instead😊
Ah thank you! Wondered where that went 🤣😅
Is the sport you were thinking of maybe croquet?
Yes! That’s the one
Welp I know what im plopping in my game first thing tomorrow xD
Hope you enjoy!!
Youre talking about Croquet. Its the game they play in Alice in Wonderland with the flamingos and hedgehogs instead of the mallets and balls
Hey I was wondering how I could download lots? I tried searching for your origin ID but nothing showed up.
Jess you almost nailed it. Beautiful build. I work in old age care they have a major kitchen that has chefs to supply food. They also have multiple places for activities they also have a cafeteria you nailed it. And multiple lounge rooms. Their rooms are decorated to who they are. They all have ensuites.
