The United States is currently grappling with a complex and multifaceted health care dilemma. As our seniors are now living significantly longer due to advancements in medical care and improved living conditions, and as housing costs continue to rise at an unprecedented and alarming rate, a growing number of seniors are finding it increasingly difficult to maintain independent living arrangements. Consequently, many are choosing or are compelled to move in with their adult children. This trend is placing a considerable burden on working families, forcing them to adapt and modify the existing dynamics of their households. These families are now tasked with the challenge of accommodating not just one, but in some cases even two additional adults who may be dealing with health issues and require varying levels of care and support. This situation necessitates a reorganization of living spaces, allocation of resources, and often, a redistribution of caregiving responsibilities among family members, all of which can create additional stress and demand significant adjustments to the family’s daily routine and long-term planning.
