Questions about The Verandah
Independent living communities cater to residents who need minimal help or no help at all with their activities of daily living – like bathing and dressing –but do want access to the myriad of benefits and amenities that retirement communities offer. In an independent retirement community, residents rent private apartments or cottages and then take advantage of shared spaces and amenities like walking paths, on-site gyms, and restaurant-style dining.
Although residents live independently, some available services provide a more comfortable retirement, like chef-prepared meals, lawn care, home maintenance, and on-site salons. Independent living communities allow residents to experience resort-style retirement for a fixed monthly rent.
Independent living expenses vary from community to community, depending on the cost of living in that region and the floor plan the resident selects (ranging from studio apartments to two-bedroom apartments). Many residents are able to enjoy the luxury of retirement in an independent living community starting around $3,200 per month.
We encourage prospective residents to meet with their financial advisors to determine whether they can afford to move. Many residents find that they save money by selling their home and paying one low monthly fee for all the services, amenities, and utilities they need to enjoy security and adventure in retirement.
While you can visit an independent living facility anytime, scheduling an appointment in advance provides a number of benefits:
• It ensures somebody is available to meet with you. Bring your questions and leave with the answers you need to make an informed decision.
• It allows for you to visit during a time that gives you a memorable experience, like the opportunity to try a meal in the restaurant-style dining room, play a game of poker, or try a yoga class at the gym.
Calling to schedule a tour in advance has its benefits, but dropping in can certainly provide insights into the daily life of a retiree in our community, too.
As long as you are your spouse’s caregiver or legal guardian and they don’t pose a risk to themselves or others, they can stay in the community. Many couples with differing needs take advantage of third party caregivers to assist with care in the home so they can live together in an independent living community.
Yes. Whether you prefer to take community transportation, walk, or drive yourself, our independent living facilities cater to your needs and preferences.
All of our independent living communities offer free transportation to local doctors’ offices, pharmacies, dentists, grocery stores, and shopping centers as well as transportation to certain special events on the calendar. In addition, residents park their own personal vehicles for free, so those who prefer the freedom of driving to and from their appointments and commitments can enjoy that luxury, as well. Finally, many services – like dining and salon – are available right on-site to limit the need to travel when you’d prefer to stay in.
