So many people I’ve talked with over the years have a common misconception about Assisted Living: that it’s unaffordable for most people.

And when I really take a look at the life our residents have, eating at a restaurant every day, having someone on-call for your health needs, doing your laundry and cleaning your apartment. Having a calendar packed with parties and a wide range of social events, having a library, club room and movie theater… I get it. That kind of life seems pretty luxurious when I think about it that way.

But here’s the real truth. Almost everyone I talk to about moving into Assisted Living is so surprised to find out how affordable it actually is.

What causes that misunderstanding then? Well I’ll share it with you.

Too often people forget to take into account all of the monthly expenses that they DON’T HAVE ANYMORE when they join The Willows.

Thousands of dollars of monthly living expenses END when someone moves here. Food, mortgage, transportation, utilities, tv and phone, property taxes, yard maintenance, entertainment, fitness, cleaning…the list goes on and on.

“Well, who pays for these expenses then?” The Willows pays. They are all included in your rent when you move in. Along with the relief of not having to manage all of that anymore and the comfort of having someone at your call with the press of a button if you need anything.

I’ve actually met with seniors who found that it would cost them less to move into The Willows than their current living costs.

So if you have wanted to check out The Willows, or any Assisted Living facility for that matter, don’t let costs scare you. Just give me a call at 641 4851672 and I can walk you through how it works.

Love,
