Independent Living Frequently Asked Questions

Related Questions

Have Questions About Independent Living?

Are the apartments pet-friendly?
Yes! Many of our communities are pet-friendly and welcome residents’ furry companions. Pet policies vary by community, including guidelines for size and breed, so our team can walk you through the specific requirements when you schedule a tour.
How do I choose the right living option for my loved one?
The right living option depends on your loved one's current needs, lifestyle preferences, and long-term goals. Our team will help you understand your loved one’s needs and explore which living option may be the best fit. Key questions to consider:
  • Does your loved one need assistance with daily personal care?
  • Are safety at home or social isolation concerns?
  • What social, culinary, and wellness experiences matter most to them?
Who is independent living the right fit for?
Independent living is a great fit for older adults who want fewer everyday responsibilities. With home maintenance, landscaping, and other chores taken care of, residents can enjoy the added convenience and social opportunities of community living, with more time for the people, interests, and experiences that matter most.
What is included in independent living?
Independent living brings many of the conveniences of everyday life into one monthly rate. This typically includes a private apartment, chef-prepared dining, utilities and Wi-Fi, weekly housekeeping and linen service, scheduled transportation, fitness and wellness programs, and a full calendar of activities and outings.
What happens if an independent living resident's needs change over time?
If an independent living resident’s needs change, our team can help them explore the options available. In some communities, residents may be able to add support while continuing to enjoy the independence and lifestyle they’re used to. If their needs change more significantly, we’ll help determine the best next step based on their individual needs.
What does a typical day look like in independent living?
Days are entirely your own in independent living. You might start with a fitness class or coffee in the bistro, join a lecture or art workshop, head out on a group outing, share a chef-prepared dinner with friends, and end the evening at a live performance — or simply enjoy the quiet of your own apartment. The calendar is full, but participation is always your choice.
Are there health requirements to move into independent living?
Independent living is designed for older adults who can live independently without ongoing care or assistance with daily activities. Requirements may vary by community, and our team can help determine whether independent living is the right fit based on your or your loved one’s needs.
Can a couple with different care needs live together in independent living?
Our teams work with each family to understand both individuals’ needs and explore options that may allow them to share the community experience while receiving the support that’s right for each of them.
How much does senior living cost at a StoryPoint Group community?
Monthly rates vary by community, apartment, and level of support. When considering the cost of senior living, it can be helpful to look at everything included — from dining and activities to maintenance, transportation, amenities, and support — and compare that with the expenses of living at home. Our team will walk you through pricing, what’s included, and any additional costs so you have a clear picture of what to expect.
Does Medicare or Medicaid cover senior living?
Medicare generally does not cover the cost of independent living, assisted living, or memory care, though it may cover certain short-term skilled nursing or rehabilitation services. Medicaid coverage varies by state and is based on eligibility requirements. Other ways families may help cover senior living costs include long-term care insurance, veterans benefits such as Aid and Attendance, personal savings, life insurance options, and bridge loans. Our team can help you explore available resources and better understand the options that may apply to your family.
Are there veterans benefits that can help cover the cost of senior living?
The VA’s Aid and Attendance benefit may help qualifying veterans and surviving spouses cover the cost of assisted living or memory care. Eligibility is based on factors such as military service, financial qualifications, and the need for assistance with daily activities. Because every situation is different, our team can connect you with a veterans benefits specialist at no cost to help you understand eligibility and explore the benefits that may be available to you or your loved one.
What is typically included in the monthly rate?
Monthly rates typically include your apartment along with services and amenities such as chef-prepared dining, utilities, Wi-Fi, housekeeping and laundry, scheduled transportation, fitness and wellness programs, social activities and outings, and maintenance-free living. What’s included varies by community and living option, and additional support services may be available based on individual needs. Our team will walk you through specific community’s pricing and what’s included in your monthly rate, so you know exactly what to expect.
Is there a buy-in or entrance fee required?
StoryPoint Group communities operate on a monthly rental model, so there is no large buy-in or entrance fee required. This gives families greater financial flexibility without the upfront investment required by some senior living communities. A community fee or deposit is typically collected at move-in, with specific costs varying by community.
What health or medical assessment is needed before moving in?
Before moving into assisted living or memory care, a health assessment helps us understand your loved one’s needs and determine how we can best support them. This typically includes a review of their medical history and an in-person or telehealth assessment. From there, we create a personalized support plan based on their individual needs. Our team will guide you through each step and let you know exactly what information is needed.
What activities and programming are available for residents?
There’s always something to look forward to. Our communities offer a full calendar of activities, events, and experiences designed around residents' interests. Depending on the community, that may include fitness classes, creative workshops, educational programs, live music, social events, clubs, games, gardening, outings to local restaurants and attractions, holiday celebrations, and more.
Can residents come and go as they please?
Yes. Residents are encouraged to continue their usual routines, whether that means visiting family and friends, running errands, attending appointments, or heading out for the day. Depending on the living option and a resident’s individual needs, some additional considerations may apply.
What on-site amenities are typically available?
Amenities vary by community but commonly include:
  • Fitness center and group exercise studio
  • Beauty salon and barbershop
  • Library and quiet reading rooms
  • Café or bistro
  • Movie theater or media lounge
  • Beautifully landscaped outdoor courtyards and walking paths
  • Private dining room for family gatherings
  • On-site Wi-Fi throughout the community
