Explore the enormous opportunities and benefits of multigenerational living in this essential guide to the modern American family.
This inventive guide to multigenerational living arrives at a crucial time, as families cope with the stresses of a changing society and the tidal wave of baby boomer retirement. This book about the American family of today offers solutions, guidance, and assistance from three authors who bring their different experiences and expertise to this presentation of the challenges, realities, and benefits of multigenerational living.
Under One Roof explores the current state of the American family, including fast-rising life expectancies, the growing costs of elder care, the increasing need for childcare, the frustrating lack of affordable housing, and the new familial disconnectedness. In response, this timely book also examines:
designing communities and homes to accommodate a fast-graying America,
the positives of elders providing childcare,
handling relationships with aging parents,
privacy, space, and communication issues within multigenerational living situations,
the evolution of the American healthcare system, hiring home caregivers, increasing the ability to comfort in hospice, and
dealing with the death of a loved one.
Under One Roof will bring you inspiration and exciting opportunities for invention as you and your modern American family tackle the challenges of the twenty-first century.
