Comfortable Multigenerational Living; Making Room for the In-laws & Boomerang Kids

Due to rising costs in senior housing, assisted living facilities, and healthcare more and more families are making room in their houses for their parents. In addition, college tuition and divorce rates are at an all-time high; post-college and post-divorce adult children are returning home to live. Therefore, for the sake of everyone’s comfort and sanity, homeowners are looking to establish privacy, independence, and separate shared living space, when necessary.

In-law suites also known as mother-in-law suites or multigenerational homes are the solution to this dilemma. The designated space can be a finished basement, enclosed patio/all season room, converted attic or garage, or rooms within the main living space. Ideally, space should include a separate eat-in kitchen/kitchenette space, bathroom, living area, closet, and/or entryway. However, a bedroom and en-suite bathroom can work well also.

For aging parents, keep their future needs in mind; they may require assisted baths, no-curb showers, railing, steps, non-slip tiling, lower counter space, etc.
