Could Adding An In-Law Suite Benefit Your Home_

1. Could Adding An In-Law Suite Benefit Your Home?

2. In-law suites can be a fantastic addition to a home, and can give families the option of having loved ones stay close to them, while giving them a certain degree of independence, too. That said, they are a significant addition project to take on, and require a great deal of financial and logistical planning. If you’d like to know more about in-law suites and whether your home (and your family) could benefit from one, here is a short introductory guide:

3. In-law suites: what are they? More than just a room added on to a house, in-law suites typically include kitchens, bathrooms, living areas and a bedroom; all the components of an independent home, but contained in a smaller space and attached to another, larger property. They usually have a separate entranceway, too, for added independence and privacy. Sometimes referred to as Accessory Dwelling Units or ADUs, granny flats and secondary suites, they are suitable for just about anyone to live in, and are not restricted to in-laws by any stretch of the imagination.

4. Here are 4 ways that you and your family could benefit from the addition of an in-law suite: 1. Extra comfort for multigenerational living If you already share your home with other family members, such as grandparents or in-laws, they (and probably you) would doubtless be more comfortable with their own space to use as they see fit.

5. If you’re considering paying for assisted living costs for senior family members, it might be more affordable (and much nicer for everyone involved), to have them living close to you, while being able to maintain their independence. 2. Low cost care As mentioned briefly above, the cost of assisted living for senior relatives can quickly mount up, and many families find it a more affordable option to have a simple in-law suite constructed, and even if nursing care is required, having a healthcare professional visit every day (or as often as needed) may still work out to be more cost-effective.

6. 3. Holidays and festive occasions are made easier During seasonal holidays or any kind of festive, family occasion, having your in-laws living right next door means that they can call in whenever they please (or at a pre-arranged time, as some families may prefer!), and there’s no hassle of collecting them from a care facility and dropping them back off again. Your kids may also enjoy being able to call around to their grandparents suite to get a bit of a break from their parents or siblings when the need arises!

7. 4. More space for visitors Even if you don’t have in-laws standing by ready to move in, an addition such as this will always come in useful, especially when out of town visitors arrive, or someone in the house wants to host an impromptu sleepover. Your grown up kids may also appreciate having somewhere to stay when they come to visit, and if your kids are away studying, what better way to make sure they want to come back for the holidays, than by offering them their own independent space?
