Senior Apartments

Rhode Island Senior Apartments

Senior apartments are intended for aging adults who are looking to maintain their active daily lifestyles, but would also enjoy being surrounded by other seniors in a community. Senior apartments may be housed in retirement communities or independent living centers. These active adult communities may also offer social activities and services to their residents, including building maintenance and on-site amenities. While information on what a senior apartment community offers is location-specific, it can often be found easily through the community's website.

Is a Senior Apartment the Right Fit?

Senior apartments may be a good fit for active adults in good health who are looking to be surrounded by other active seniors. Each apartment community may have its own restrictions on the age of its residents, but generally, Rhode Island residents 55 or over may qualify for these complexes. Senior apartments are not necessarily assisted living facilities; they may not have the skilled staff members to be able to help care for individuals with disabilities, memory loss, or complex medical care needs. For people searching for these care solutions, nursing homes or skilled nursing facilities and assisted living facilities may be a more supportive option.

Paying for a Senior Apartment in Rhode Island

Senior care is associated with major costs, and senior apartment communities are no different. Residents planning on moving to a senior apartment may want to budget for not only the cost of residence, but also for any additional facilities/amenities cost charged by the facility. While some seniors may have already started planning for the costs of senior care, but even those who haven't may find cost solutions by considering selling their homes, purchasing long-term care insurance, or consulting with the state's Veterans Affairs office to see what may be covered.
