Calculating the Cost of Senior Living
Many factors come into play when deciding on the right senior living community for you. While each person's list of 'must-have' amenities might vary, affordability is certainly a line item on everyone's list. Two of our most frequently asked questions are, "How much does independent living cost?" and "What is included?"
Our Independent and Assisted Living community in Downtown Mesa offers several senior living options to fit a wide range of budgets. If you are unsure of your budget or want to explore assistance programs for seniors, we encourage you to visit our 'Cost of Senior Living' page to learn more.
The Intangible Benefits of Senior Living
When comparing the cost of senior living to your current living situation, it's essential to review the services and amenities included in independent living and consider the benefits that senior living communities offer.
The intrinsic value of human connection - gathering around a table to share a meal with others, developing new friendships, learning new hobbies, and becoming part of a community. Household budgets don't have a line item for these assets, yet they are all fundamental in maintaining your independence, overall health, and wellness. Priceless.
Compare the Costs and Benefits of Independent Living
We have created the worksheet below to help you compare the costs of your current living situation with the costs of living in a retirement community like Fellowship Square Historic Mesa. This worksheet will also help you weigh the amenities and services included in your monthly rent – such as lawn care, housekeeping, and maintenance, against the costs of similar services you currently pay for in your own home.
As you review the worksheet, enter the amount you currently pay for each expense type next to the corresponding expense. For costs such as unexpected home or appliance repairs, it can be helpful to review past repair bills and estimate a ballpark number.
For items marked with an asterisk *, please see 'Understanding Additional Costs & Flexible Expenses' at the bottom of the page for complete details.
