Reimagining Value in Your Third Act
Living at home isn’t as simple—or as affordable—as it seems. From mortgage payments and groceries to caregiving and transportation, the costs add up fast.
At Juniper Village at Forest Hills, we bring everything under one roof—care, connection, and community—all for one predictable monthly cost.
Let’s dive into how these costs compare to senior living.
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.
