Sometimes, family members with limited ability have few living options, and living at home is rare. So, most people resort to moving to an assisted living facility, where they are assured that their relatives are cared for. However, these facilities are not always the best and may trigger emotional distress. Solution? An in-law suite for a family member who desires independence and the safety of their family and home. Explore below if you are considering adding an in-law suite in your custom home.
What Defines an In-Law Suite?
An in-law suite is usually a separate area of the home – attached or unattached – that is great for living. It typically has a bedroom, bathroom, living room, and kitchen. Fortunately, an in-law suite provides a distinct sense of privacy. This is because it is not directly connected to the rest of the home, even though it’s on the same property. It also feels like an apartment because of its functionality. Consequently, this makes it desirable for someone who wants to live safely and comfortably in their custom home regardless of requiring accessibility assistance.
Considerations of Adding One to the Floor Plan
There is also the opportunity to rent out the space. Renting out an area of your custom home signifies it complies with your area’s zoning restrictions. Of course, there is nothing wrong with housing a family member free of charge. In addition, you should consider your home’s value; is there enough room? Can you still have a spacious backyard, even with the addition of an in-law suite? Always ensure to inspect before you build an in-law suite in your custom home.
Why Build an In-Law Suite?
Constructing an in-law suite is probably a great choice for those who require an accessible and comfortable living situation. They will be safe from possible abuse from assisted living facility employees, which can be problematic. Thankfully, Robin Ford Building is an expert at building homes and in-law suites.
