Multigenerational houses

You are fit and active and in the middle of life. Maybe you’re already suffering from a few ailments, but otherwise you manage your everyday life on your own. You have already reached your well-earned retirement, but you would still like to make your knowledge or talents available and you don’t want to live alone?

With an ageing society, the period of life after retirement is also getting longer and longer. Above all, the achievements of medicine are enabling us to live active and self-determined lives for longer and longer. This is why intergenerational residential communities, also known as multi-generation homes, are a forward-looking form of living that offers many advantages for all age groups.

Agreements can be made between the individual flatmates or parties that, for example, distribute tasks within the shared apartment according to abilities. For example, senior citizens can provide childcare for younger couples, while the younger ones can take on more physically demanding tasks. Regardless of how tasks and areas are distributed, everyone can use their own talents and benefit from the skills of others.

Let us advise you on how to set up such a community or find out where such forms of housing already exist in your area.
