Can I Keep My Car at a Senior Living Community?

Yes. In many senior living communities, especially independent living, you can keep your car. Staying mobile gives you the freedom to run errands, see family or explore the town. Still, it’s important to understand how community policies and care levels can affect your ability to drive or park on-site.

Independent living and driving

If you’re considering independent living, keeping your car can be possible. These communities are designed for flexibility and ease. Whether you’re heading to lunch with friends or taking a weekend drive, independent living supports your lifestyle—including your ability to drive.

Many Brookdale communities offer parking, either included in your monthly rate or for an additional fee. Ask during your tour for a clear understanding.

Driving in assisted living or memory care

Driving is less common in assisted living and memory care communities. You can benefit from scheduled transportation options provided by the community.

In some cases, you may still drive with the proper medical clearance or community assessment. These situations are handled on a case-by-case basis to support the well-being of everyone involved.
