Multigenerational homes consist of more than two generations living in one household.
The recession has spurred the growth of multigenerational living.
Why choose a multigenerational home and What are the benefits?.
Reasons for multigenerational living:
- Unemployment of any of the household's members
- The cost of caregiving for children, handicapped and the elderly
- High cost of a college education
- More young adults are moving back home for various reasons
- Adults over 55 may need to move in with their children
- Grandparents may need caregivers
- Grandparents may need to help raise grandchildren
The Benefits:
- Ability to have a nicer home-that you may otherwise-not be able to afford
- Built in baby sitters for children and or grandparents and/or the disabled
- Sharing meals, cooking duty and cost of the food
- Single parent support system for adults, teens and young adults
- Support for teens and young adults going to school
- Less stress-you know that everyone is safe and near, so you are not forced to travel to care for family members
- Emotional support, for the elderly mostly, but for all family members
Living in a multigenerational home is a built-in opportunity to create stronger, mutually beneficial relationships between generations that will have lasting positive effects on all.
I have experience with multigenerational living and can truly say that the benefits out-weigh the negative!
