The opportunity to live near family can be a wonderful blessing.

​

You can be an important part of your grandchildren's lives. Living close to children and grandkids means that you'll be able to attend athletic matches, school events, birthday parties, and more.

​

You can help your kids with their kids.  Caring for your grandkids may come in the form of occasional or regular caregiving responsibilities as young families juggle career, social, and family responsibilities.

​

You have a family and social network and support system you can count on.  Moving usually means needing to make new social friends and connections and having family nearby means that you'll have some immediate connections for dinner and parties right away.  You can also count on relatives helping with chores or help when you need it.
