One of my friends has a grandma who lives with her parents. My friend & her siblings were already grown up when their grandma moved in. They were able to make some renovations to one side of the house to give the grandma her own little living area (her name is Lily, so they call it the Lily Pad, so cute!)
But my friend's mom confided in her that it was difficult for her that the grandma had her own space *and* free reign over the rest of the house, too, unless the parents (homeowners) retreated to the master bedroom. So, either really clear communication about boundaries, or a master suite that included a sitting area for reading, having a cup of tea or watching TV would have been a better setup for them.
