Is Independent Living Affordable?

In times like these, it is only prudent to monitor your expenditures carefully—which is why joining a Sunrise independent living community makes such great sense. Certainly, you’ll pay a monthly fee, but once you’ve settled in, you’ll soon realize how many payments you no longer have to make.

Say Goodbye to Household Expenses
Consider these savings: No matter how hot or cold it gets outside, gas, electric, and oil bills are things of the past. You will never see a basic cable bill. If your appliances break, they are repaired free of charge—and there’s no need to take out a service contract to ensure routine maintenance. You also won’t pay for laundry and housekeeping.

Homeowners save even more. If you are a homeowner, you can say good-bye to homeowner’s insurance, condominium or association fees, property tax bills, and landscaping charges. Regardless of whether you rent or own, your expenses for dining will be reduced tremendously.

And, if you decide to rely on community and public transportation, you will never have to worry about the price of gasoline, never have to pay to maintain a car or purchase a new one, and never pay auto insurance and registration fees.

Free Up Your Time
If you hold to the position that time is money, your savings will be even greater. All the time you formerly spent hanging around the house waiting for repairmen to appear, sitting in the dealership while your car was being serviced, and laboring at your desk writing a dozen or more checks each month is now yours to do with as you please.

With your life simplified, you can concentrate on the things you never quite had enough time to do—pursuing a hobby like painting, seeing more of the movies on your NetFlix queue, or taking your grandchildren on a trip. And as a member of a Sunrise community, you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you are getting more out of life while making wise use of your financial resources.
