It isn’t easy to know where to begin when evaluating senior living options, especially when you do a Google search such as “senior living near me”. Typically, the search engine will bring up the communities that have done all they can to bring their listing to the top of the page. That’s all fine and well, but if the first ten listings are assisted living, then you must go back and search “independent senior living near me”. Who knows what you’re going to get this time…and the next and the next? What if you don’t have a computer? Then where do you go?
The Twin Cities Senior Housing Guide
Communities vary by age, type, amenities & services, rent vs. own, pricing, and availability and it’s important that first, you understand the meaning behind all of these categories, and second, you learn how the communities in a desired area stack up relative to each other. In the Twin Cities, there are many senior living resources, but the one I’d highly recommend is the Twin Cities Senior Housing Guide.
The Twin Cities Senior Housing Guide, available at www.seniorhousingguide.us, can streamline your research on senior housing types, prices, services, amenities, and availability. Updated annually, the information-grid format optimizes your ability to make an apples-to-apples comparison of “like” and “dissimilar” properties.
Senior Living at RosePointe
RosePointe is an “Independent Senior Living Market Rate Rental with Services” housing type, and it resides within the Twin Cities Senior Housing Guide as such. While each section of the guide provides high-level definitions for all types of housing options, the purpose of the following link is to provide you with a deeper dive into the variables you should evaluate for the independent market-rate rental option. In addition, a resident perspective is provided as to why this was a great choice for her.
