Independent Living costs differ by location and facility, as many communities offer different levels of care, amenities, and activities. Prices also vary based on how much — or how little — assistance a senior needs.
Planning ahead can better position you to make good choices for your loved one’s care in the future. But if your aging family member needs care now, there are ways to finance the cost of long-term care through a combination of approaches.
Independent living offers a stress-free lifestyle for older adults. Independent living communities don’t provide personal care or supervision, but do offer generally healthy adults opportunities for socialization and hassle-free living. Independent living services often include:
Welcome to The Woodlands, an upscale master-planned community north of Houston. Sometimes called “the invisible city” because of its densely timbered layout, this suburban haven is a uniquely alluring and welcoming area with over 8,000 acres of forest.
Independent living communities — also known simply as retirement communities — in The Woodlands are geared towards seniors who are able to live on their own, without daily assistance, and prefer to live among people their age. This usually means residents are self-sufficient and do not require hands-on care. Think of The Woodlands retirement communities as age-restricted (typically 55+) complexes, which provide organized activities, meal services, and transportation.
Cost data for independent living in The Woodlands is currently unavailable. However, the median monthly cost of assisted living is about $3,800 in The Woodlands and $4,000 in the state of Texas, according to Genworth. To learn more about the cost of independent living in The Woodlands, contact A Place for Mom’s Senior Living Advisors.
The cost of living in The Woodlands is rated slightly higher than the national average. This is due in part to the fact that The Woodlands is a master-planned community, which adds additional costs.
