In a 55+ community, the apartments are rented out to seniors who are looking to live with others in the same lifestage. In a typical apartment complex you will have a mixture of families, singles, and adults, which will provide a lively and active environment. Senior apartment give its residents an opportunity to be in an environment that is more calm, peaceful, and relaxed. The community also provides amenities and conveniences that help seniors maintain a rested lifestyle. These conveniences include daily meals, utilities, cable tv, fitness and exercise programs, social activities, transportation services, housekeeping, laundry and linen service, special events, and other activities. Most senior communities will have 24 hours staff that is available to help with any needs. Some residencies will also provide onsite medical assistance when needed, or healthcare centers within the complex.
Some things to consider when moving to a senior apartment are location, size of rooms, monthly budget, and amenities provided. If you are downsizing from a home, tour the apartment complex to see if the size of its rooms are suitable for you and your belongings. Senior apartments also vary in its monthly rent, so find an apartment complex suitable to you needs and budget range. In some 55+ apartment complexes, residents moving in will get to bring their own furniture and can bring their pets. Driving seniors can also bring their own vehicles since many apartment complexes will provide parking garages and spaces.
In terms of financial assistance, Medicaid and Medicare do not cover the costs of senior apartments and independent living situations. However, there are some government programs that will help subsidize rent for seniors who are low-income and need financial assistance. Since each low-income housing program is different, you can contact your local public housing agency or HUD (housing and urban development) office to see which programs you qualify for.
