Adding an in-law suite can help keep your family closer & save money.
An in-law suite, being essentially an additional apartment within your home, can be a huge investment for your home and family. This kind of renovation project isn’t simply about the value or appeal of your home, but the long-term comfort and enjoyment of your family. While they take significant work and careful financial planning, in-law suites can benefit you and your loved ones in many ways. Here are four of the major benefits of building an in-law suite in your home.
1. Comfort
A multigenerational house can benefit everyone sharing a home. An aging family member can be independent while being close by for anything they may need, as well as for family enjoyment. While assisted living facilities have their own benefits, an in-law suite can allow families to be close, yet comfortable. Plus, an in-law suite can be outfitted with all the comforts of home to the preferences of your family. This is a luxury that most assisted living facilities simply can’t offer. For the purpose of comfort, it’s important to consider accessibility when planning an in-law suite, so that your family member can remain as independent and comfortable as they desire.
2. Cost Saving
Assisted living facilities can be difficult to finance, and when your aging family members live far away, it can be difficult to pay nursing staff to look after them in their own home. With an in-law suite, your family member can be closeby when they need anything, so you don’t have to worry as much and you can save on costs associated with caring for your family member. The peace of mind involved with an in-law suite is priceless, but you can help your loved ones save on expensive hospitality costs, which will ultimately help them remain financially independent as well.
3. Carefree Holiday Celebrations
Wrangling the entire family can be difficult during the holidays, but when you customize your home to include an in-law suite, bringing the family together can be easy! Without the difficulties of assisted living facility hours or commuting back and forth to the grandparents’ house, you can focus on the important part of the holidays: being together. Best of all, with room to entertain in the in-law suite, everyone can celebrate with friends and family.
4. Guest Space
Even if you’re not yet using your in-law suite for an older family member, this space can be used for entertaining or a guest apartment. This will allow plenty of room for friends and family to stay at your home and enjoy the company without cramped spaces or the need for air mattresses for your guests. With an in-law suite, your friends and family won’t have to stay in a hotel, or your children home from college can stay right at home with all the independence they enjoy at school.
