Redefining Home: The Rise of Multigenerational Living

The rising popularity of multigenerational living is causing homeowners to look for creative ways to adapt their homes to suit both young and old.

In a world where living arrangements are rapidly evolving, the concept of home is taking on new dimensions. As more young adults move back home and elderly family members seek to age in place, homes are transforming into dynamic spaces that accommodate various generations under one roof. This shift towards multigenerational living, specifically in the US, UK and parts of Europe, has spurred a demand for innovative solutions, such as home lifts, that address the unique needs of these families.

 

The Changing Landscape of Multigenerational Homes

In recent years, there has been a marked shift in the makeup of households. According to the Pew Research Center, the share of young adults living with their parents in the US has risen significantly compared to decades ago. This trend extends beyond the US, with Europe also experiencing a surge in multigenerational households. Factors like economic uncertainty, changing cultural norms, and the desire for intergenerational connection have all contributed to this shift.

Aging at Home

The aging population presents another dimension to the multigenerational living equation. With advancements in healthcare and a desire for independence, more elderly people are choosing to age in place rather than move to assisted living facilities. As a result, homes need to be adaptable to the changing needs of their occupants. This demand for accessibility and convenience has driven the need for home lifts. These lifts not only provide a solution for vertical mobility but also enable elderly family members to navigate their homes comfortably, promoting both safety and autonomy.

Transforming Spaces: Basements and Attics as Living Areas

The growing multigenerational living trend is also challenging homeowners to find creative ways of repurposing the existing spaces in their homes. Basements and attics are no longer relegated to storage. They are being transformed into separate living spaces to accommodate the expanded household.

However, as homes grow vertically, the challenge of navigating multiple levels becomes clear. Staircases can become obstacles, particularly for the elderly or individuals with mobility challenges.

Meeting the Need with Home Lifts

Whether it’s accommodating young adults returning home, enabling elderly family members to age in place, or simply preparing for the uncertainties of the future, home lifts offer a practical solution to the challenges posed by multigenerational living. Even for single-generational homes, the potential for resale to a multigenerational family underscores the versatility and value that home lifts bring to the property.

Aritco home lifts can seamlessly integrate into a home’s design with a minimal footprint, ensuring easy access between floors and enhancing the overall quality of life for all occupants as demonstrated in the stunning Phoenix Bay Villa.

In addition to home lifts, there are a variety of innovative new products to help make homes more accessible and enjoyable for older inhabitants. See our guide to some of the latest technologies: Redefining Home for the Third Age
