What’s really included in the monthly cost of senior living? Although this varies from community to community, at our Tinton Falls, NJ assisted living and memory care communities, your investment covers more than you might think.
Many of the services and amenities included in senior living are simply a bundle of the typical expenses you would be piecing together individually. Our team has created a transparent overview of what you can expect to be included in the monthly cost of senior living so you can consider your options more clearly.
Just like a mortgage or rent, your monthly fees cover the cost of your private apartment and all utilities. Similar to the typical bills you would pay a la carte, this bundle pricing includes power, water, sewer, waste management, and Wi-Fi.
In-home care providers can become costly and sometimes provide hours of care inconsistent with your needs. However, senior living communities offer round-the-clock care when and how you need it. Highly trained caregivers can assist you with daily tasks like personal hygiene, dressing, bathing, medication management, and more. This allows you to maintain your independence by only receiving the help you want and need, giving you the chance to confidently spend your days the way you please.
In Tinton Falls, NJ assisted living communities, you can stop by happy hour for drinks and snacks, grab a quick bite to eat from the bistro, share a meal with friends in the dining room, or have meals delivered to your door. The dining team uses fresh, seasonal ingredients to craft tasty, nutritious meals for all residents. Many residents say that meal times are easily the highlight of their day as they get to savor delicious food while building community with their friends and neighbors.
Memory care residents can also enjoy meals together in their thoughtfully designed dining room. Assistance and dietary modifications are available as needed to ensure everyone has a positive, stress-free dining experience.
Wave goodbye to the hassle of constant cleaning because weekly housekeeping services are included within your general senior living expenses. Additionally, you won’t need to spend hours doing the wash or bother maintaining a washer or dryer because personal laundry and linen cleaning services are also included. When purchased as standalone services outside of a senior living community, these costs can add up quickly.
Instead of driving to and paying for various activities, events, and memberships around town, senior living community events and activities are accessible on-site and included in your monthly fees. Every month, a fresh social calendar is provided to give you the chance to do what you love along with your peers. From themed parties and live music to book clubs and volunteer groups, there is something for everyone at Arbor Terrace Shrewsbury.
Additionally, you will also gain access to the on-site library, art studio, activities room, courtyards, and shared living spaces. Each of these luxurious amenities is included in your monthly fees, so you can enjoy them as often as you’d like.
No need to drive to or pay for the gym when you have access to on-site fitness programs. There is a wide range of classes – such as yoga, functional fitness, and aerobics – offered to suit your preferences, abilities, and needs. Our instructors prioritize senior-friendly and accessible accommodations to help you feel your best, all included in the regular cost of senior living.
Whether you need a ride for a medical appointment or running errands around town, scheduled transportation services can reliably get you to and from your destination. This eliminates the cost of gas and maintaining a car while also removing the stress of driving through traffic and finding parking at your destination.
Installing a home security system can be helpful, but also expensive as equipment and monthly subscription costs rise. Living in a Tinton Falls, NJ assisted living community eliminates the need for private security systems because your security is already built into the cost of senior living.
Peace of mind is truly priceless. With an emergency call system that responds 24/7, you are never truly alone. At Arbor Terrace Shrewsbury, residents can rest assured that trained staff are available when and how you need them. Similarly, each building is regularly monitored to ensure the safety of residents and staff at all times.
