The Cost of Retirement
How much do you spend monthly when aging in place? To find out the answer, you will need to take into consideration all the fees you are paying for various quarters. This includes:
- Mortgage repayments, if you have not already paid it off fully
- Homeowners’ insurance
- Utility bills
- Groceries and other essentials
- Cost of home care, whether that’s for your personal needs or to take care of housekeeping duties
- … and more!
After adding all these costs up, you may find that you are spending more to age in place than you originally thought!

Sources of Retirement Funding
Before making the move, you will need to ensure that you have enough to pay for senior living over the years. Below are some common sources of funding our residents tap on:
- Selling or Renting Their Home(s): As many older adults see this as a permanent move, selling or renting out their home(s) is a popular choice. If you are not ready to let go of a home that comes with many precious memories, you may opt to rent it out instead.
- Long–Term Care or Life Insurance: Depending on the specifics of your policy, you may be able to offset all or part of the cost of senior living.
- Veteran Benefits: Are you a veteran, or have you survived your spouse who was a veteran? If so, you may be eligible for certain benefits packages which can help to defray the cost of senior living.
