Three Generations Under One Roof

Starting 6/13/17 my home will have three generations under one roof. According to Pew Research in 2014 "A record 60.6 million people or 19% of the US population, lived with multiple generations under one roof." Multi-Generational households are on the rise. I'm glad to know we aren't alone. Also having done a research study on multi-generational care, I've come to see how many cultures do this and all learn from each other and it helps all around. I'm looking forward to it.


If you want to check out multi-generational living trends that involve college students coming to live before "moving on up" to their first home, this is information you need to know. Or if you want to bring an elder generation to live with you, just know that there are homes that will accommodate you. This is a trend that is on the rise. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mary-cook/5-design-features-that-he_b_10842284.html. Our home wasn't tailor made for it, but we made it happen and are happy with the result.
