Reimagining Value in Your Third Act
Staying at home can seem simpler—but the costs tell another story. Between mortgage payments, property taxes, groceries, caregiving, and day-to-day upkeep, things can add up fast. At Juniper Village at Meadville, you get so much more: care, connection, dining, and a vibrant lifestyle—all in one place, for one predictable monthly cost.
How does life at Juniper stack up against staying at home in Meadville? Let’s look closer.
Costs Savings: The Numbers
At least 30% of Americans over 65 still carry a mortgage. On average, seniors spend $1000/month on housing alone—not including HOA or condo fees.
From property taxes to maintenance and utilities, homeownership costs add up fast. Monthly out-of-pocket expenses for homes valued between $150K–$500K range from $1,100 to $3,000.
Home health care averages $25/hour. Even with minimum support (3 hours/day, 30 days/month), that’s around $1,800 per month.
Pottery class? Book club? Sunday brunch? It all adds up. Most seniors spend about $250/month on recreation and enrichment.
Internet, cable, and landlines—the classic “triple play”—can exceed $250/month on your own.
Doctor visits, grocery runs, and errands rack up. The average monthly transportation cost for seniors? $715.
With recent inflation, three meals a day, vitamins, and special diets total nearly $750 per month for most seniors.
