Seniors are choosing to live in a multi-generational home. Also, the number of Americans living in a multi-generational household ( 3 or more generations) has nearly quadrupled in the past decade. I think we can all agree first and foremost privacy is key to a successful living arrangement. Aside from privacy, there is a laundry list of must-haves to ensure safety and comfort. Here is a list of my top remodeling recommendations for a multi-generational home:

  • First floor Master bedroom
  • Accessible full bathroom on the first floor
  • Safe entry and exit from the home to an outdoor space
  • At least one “zero” step entry to the home
  • Access to the kitchen and ability to participate in meal prep 
  • Soundproofed rooms
  • Additional/private entry for the older adult
  • Incorporate technology for communication/safety
