This book tackles the complexities of modern family life by advocating for multigenerational living. The authors' diverse backgrounds allow them to offer solutions and guidance on navigating the social, financial, and logistical challenges of housing multiple generations under one roof. While this timely guide may oversimplify certain intricacies, it sparks thought-provoking discussions and offers valuable insights for families considering alternative living arrangements.

Naturally, there are pros and cons to any living situation for older family members... but especially in light of the exorbitant cost of CCRCs and assisted living, which are simply not affordable for most people and very often a waste for those who actually can afford them (the value simply isn't there - lining the CEOs pockets while barely paying the caregivers a liveable wage) this book offers a refreshing alternative to consider. I do want to acknowledge a big benefit I've seen over aging in place is the community aspect, but that also has pros and cons.

Being middle-aged and seeing both situations play out with our parents, a multigenerational home does take a lot of patience and faith from everyone involved. Living with your adult children and grandchildren isn't for everyone, for sure. But, sometimes it's exponentially better than contributing to a healthcare machine that more often than not couldn't care less about you.
