Reimagining Value in Your Third Act
Living at home often looks more affordable than it is. Between mortgage payments, utilities, groceries, caregiving, and entertainment, the true cost adds up fast.
At Juniper Village at Williamstown, we simplify it: one community, covering care, activities, and connection.
So how does it compare? Let’s take a look.
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.
