Independent living, also known as active adult communities, are generally designed older adults to make of their retirement. This is generally done by offering senior-centric programs, events, services, and amenities that are accessible to the residents.
However, something that can hold many people back from applying for a placement is the cost of living in one. Around the United States, rent and entrance fees can differ greatly depending on the state, provider, and the services and level of care required for the resident.
Here at Veranda Club, we understand that financial worries can have a significant impact on you and your loved ones’ mental wellbeing. This is why we have compiled this guide to answer the most common cost-related questions we have received.
What Is the Average Cost of Independent Living Communities?
The average monthly cost of living in an independent living community is around $2,552. This is subject to fluctuations from supply and demand in the different communities as well as the living costs in that state. In Florida, the average per month is around $2,545, with the maximum amount per month hitting around $4,469.
How Is the Cost Calculated?
This cost is calculated based on the range of services or pricing option that you choose. This will differ from community to community, with some offering everything all bundled-in whereas some will have variations that allow you and your loved ones to pick and choose what is required for you to lead your best life.
Some factors that can play a part is the apartment size that you choose, the services that you are opting for, and the general cost of living in your area. One big contributor would be medical care. Even though it is not emphasized for independent living options, some communities will be able to provide this at an extra cost.
