Independent Living vs. Other Options

Independent Living vs. Assisted Living:

Independent living is for self-sufficient seniors who don't require daily personal care assistance. Assisted living provides hands-on help with bathing, dressing, medication management, and other daily activities for those needing support.

Independent Living vs. Senior Housing:

Senior housing (55+ apartments) offers age-restricted housing with fewer amenities and services. Independent living communities provide comprehensive dining, activities, housekeeping, and wellness programs in an all-inclusive resort-style setting.

Cost of Independent Living

Independent living serving the Franktown area typically ranges $2,500 to $4,000 monthly. Pricing factors include:

  • Apartment size and floor plan (studio vs. one or two bedrooms)
  • Number of meals included in monthly fee
  • Community location and amenity offerings
  • Service levels and additional program options

Many residents find independent living cost-competitive with maintaining rural property when factoring in property taxes, insurance, maintenance, utilities, land care, and other ownership expenses. We help families evaluate comprehensive cost comparisons.
