A Smart Plan for a Vibrant Future
We understand that planning for the financial aspect of senior living is a significant part of the journey.
It’s often surprising to learn that the predictable, all-inclusive monthly cost of life in our State College community can be comparable to the unpredictable expenses of staying at home.
With a full continuum of care in one community, you gain not only a vibrant lifestyle but also invaluable peace of mind. We’re here to help you understand the value and explore all the options available.
Costs Savings: The Numbers
At least 30% of Americans over 65 still carry a mortgage. On average, seniors spend $1000/month on housing alone—not including HOA or condo fees.
From property taxes to maintenance and utilities, homeownership costs add up fast. Monthly out-of-pocket expenses for homes valued between $150K–$500K range from $1,100 to $3,000.
Home health care averages $25/hour. Even with minimum support (3 hours/day, 30 days/month), that’s around $1,800 per month.
Pottery class? Book club? Sunday brunch? It all adds up. Most seniors spend about $250/month on recreation and enrichment.
Internet, cable, and landlines—the classic “triple play”—can exceed $250/month on your own.
Doctor visits, grocery runs, and errands rack up. The average monthly transportation cost for seniors? $715.
With recent inflation, three meals a day, vitamins, and special diets total nearly $750 per month for most seniors.
