A growing stream of consumer research has examined the intersection of family dynamics, consumption practices, and the marketplace. The purpose of this research is to make sense of the complex nature of family for senior families (adult children and their elderly parents) who employ the use of elder care services and facilities.

Approach
This research analyzes data gathered from in-depth interviews with adult siblings and their elderly parents through the lens of assemblage theory.

Findings
This paper advances a conceptulisation of the family as an evolving assemblage of components, including individual members; material possessions and home(s); shared values, goals, memories, and practices; prominent familial attributes of love and care; and marketplace resources. Three features of the assemblage come to the fore in senior families: the fluid meaning of independence for the elderly parent, the evolution of shared family practices, and the trajectory of the assemblage that is a function of its history and future.

Originality/Value
This research 1) focuses on a stage of family life that has been undertheorised; 2) applies assemblage theory to the family collective, demonstrating that a family can be conceptualised as an ever-evolving assemblage of human and non-human components, and this is a useful lens for understanding how senior families ‘do’ family; and 3) argues for a broader notion of family – one that is not household-centric or focused on families with young children, that encompasses members and materiality, and that foregrounds the dynamic, evolving nature of family life.10aMarketing1 aHuff, Aimee1 aCotte, June uhttps://dev.business.oregonstate.edu/biblio/evolving-family-assemblage-how-senior-families-do-family
