How Much Does Assisted Living Cost?

When you decide you want to move into an assisted living community, the next question you will probably find yourself asking is: “How much does assisted living cost?”

Because every community and every senior is a little different, the price can vary depending on factors like apartment style and how much help you need throughout the day. We will work together to create a custom service plan that meets your specific needs. The best part is that you only pay for the services you need, which means you're likely to find something that fits your needs — and your budget.

Level of Care

Costs vary depending on the level of support you need. We'll work with you to figure out the perfect plan for you.

Floor Plan

Our floor plan options allow you to choose the perfect apartment size that suits your needs and lifestyle.

Location

Factors such as cost of living, local real estate market and availability of amenities play a role in pricing.

Assisted Living Price Ranges

Selling a home can be a great way for seniors to afford senior living.

You can use the equity you have built up in your home to pay for care and support and enjoy a simpler and less stressful lifestyle by moving into a senior living community.
