Multigenerational Living
Houses where multiple generations of families live under one roof, has been on the rise for the last two decades. The 2021 census discovered that multi-generational households have risen 50 per cent since 2021, amounting to almost 442,000 households.
This is due to numerous pressures including house prices and cost of living, but also due to the advantageous benefits that multi-generational living provides to a family unit. Living together, the family is far more connected and can support each other in many ways. Grandparents can be on hand babysitters to help with caring for their grandchildren and can be supported by their children when they need help and assistance with more physical jobs around the home or getting to appointments.
Shared stories and values are perpetrated, whilst risks of loneliness are mitigated. A residential elevator is often a great addition to a multi-generational household, allowing elder relatives, those with disabilities, or simply anyone who wants to traverse the house with ease whilst undertaking chores, such as to move around the house comfortably and without unnecessary exertion.
Aging-in-Place
It is uncommon for people to want to move house as they age. Home is a great comfort and familiarity as you get older, it is filled with cherished memories from years past. Aging-in-place is desirable for the majority and, with simple planning it can often be achieved safely giving you confidence to live life to the full in the home you love.
Canadians are living longer, and are more frequently living up to 100 according to Canada.ca, and as such more frequently homes need to be future-proofed. Modifications, such as a home elevator, can be more cost effective than moving as well.
Take stock and think about the future, and what you will need as you age. A home lift can often be incorporated into your plans to make ageing-in-place safer, more comfortable, and enjoyable, helping you live life to the fullest.
