Where to Begin

What is the Average Cost of Senior Living?

Exploring pricing is a great first step. Your rate comes together based on a few details—like your location, the apartment style you pick and the level of support that fits you best.

If you added up the cost of your monthly expenses, what would the total be?

Many older adults are surprised to discover that they’re already paying pretty close to what they’d pay if they lived in a senior living community without the extra amenities or activities included in senior living.

Start with Your Monthly Expenses
Living at home requires you to pay separate bills for things like the mortgage, utilities, property taxes and homeowner’s insurance. You also have to budget for things like groceries, healthcare costs, entertainment and travel expenses.

Now imagine wrapping those costs into a single monthly payment. That’s what happens when you live at a senior living community. Majority of your ordinary expenses are included in your basic service rate. Plus, you get to enjoy things like housekeeping and laundry services, educational workshops, happy hours and ice cream socials. With fun-filled excursions and a tight-knit group of neighbors.

Also, sometimes there are on-campus amenities like swimming pools, gardens, beauty and barber shops, pools, putting greens, transportation services and more depending on your community.

Add up your monthly expenses and see how that total compares to the cost of communities in your area. You may be surprised to learn that senior living may be more affordable than you think.

How Much Do the Care Levels Cost?

Care is personal—understanding the cost is part of creating a plan that feels right for you.

Each level of care offers its own mix of services, which helps shape the pricing. Whether you’re planning ahead or thinking about a change soon, knowing what may affect the cost can help you feel more prepared and at ease.

How Do I Make Senior Living More Affordable?

If you want to adjust the total cost of senior living, you might consider:

Splitting a companion suite with a roommate instead of living in a private apartment
Exploring communities in locations with a lower cost of living—think cozy rural or suburban scenery
Checking out communities with smaller grounds

The cost also varies depending on the type of care you need. Memory care and skilled nursing typically costs more than someone who is moving into independent living.
