Independent Living

Independent Living is for seniors who are able to live on their own in an apartment or house, but want the conveniences of living within a community that provides services and amenities such as housekeeping, social activities, dining, transportation, security, or the option of assistance with daily tasks or medical care if they need it later. In addition to the above, Independent Living communities tend to focus on health and wellness strategies to help residents stay active and independent longer.

Typically there are no medical care options. These communities simplify your life, as many day-to-day chores are handled for you. You do not have to be able to live independently to live in an Independent Living community. However, any assistance you may need beyond what is provided for all residents will be your responsibility; it will not be provided by the community or included in your rent.

Independent Living accommodations can be a studio, a single bedroom, or a two-or-three-bedroom apartment. It also can be a cottage-style residence, smaller than a house, usually on a single level and often with an attached garage.

Cost ranges from $1,400 to $6,600 a month. Costs vary widely by community based on location, size of the apartment or cottage, and the amenities offered. Independent Living facilities accept private pay only.

Usually Covered:

• Monthly rent, classified as an all-inclusive fee that includes utilities but often excludes phone and expanded cable TV.
• 1-3 meals a day in a community dining environment.
• Maintenance-free living, an emergency call system and safety features.
• Social, educational and recreational activities.

Often Offered:

• Housekeeping services.

NOTE – Some of the above care facilities are contracted with Medicaid, some are not. It is crucial to know what happens if a resident is running out of money. The facilities that are contracted with Medicaid, they set their own rules on how long someone needs to pay privately before they switch to Medicaid benefits. The range is between 6 months to 6 years. Some Medicaid contracted facilities accept new residents who are already on Medicaid.
