Things to Consider Before Becoming a Multigenerational Home

Moving a parent or older loved one into your home? 🏠💞👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 

Answer these questions first!

Moving an aging parent into your home?  Multigenerational living can bring incredible connection and purpose, but it also comes with challenges that deserve thoughtful planning. Before moving an aging parent or loved one in, take time to consider the emotional, financial, and practical sides of sharing a home.

Here are the essential questions to ask before making the move:

✨ Will everyone in the home have enough personal space and privacy?
✨ Are expectations clear around caregiving, finances, and chores?
✨ How will your routines, values, or lifestyles blend?
✨ What changes might your home need to ensure safety and comfort?
✨ Are you ready for the emotional realities of caregiving or sharing space?

The goal isn’t just to add another person under your roof-it’s to create a blended household that feels balanced, safe, and supportive. That takes open communication, planning, and care.

💬 If you’re exploring multigenerational living or planning a move with an aging parent, I’d love to help. As a Seniors Real Estate Specialist®, I guide families in finding homes that fit everyone’s needs-or in updating their current space to make it safer and more functional for the next chapter.
