Long-time homeowners often need a refresher on the joys of renting when they have owned their home for a very long time. The first thought for many is, “This transition will be daunting.” Not to worry because in the senior living space, renting is easy, simplifies home responsibilities, and offers a robust, convenient, and flexible lifestyle. In addition, the industry has many service providers to offload the burdens associated with downsizing, staging, selling, packing, moving, and setting up a new home. So read on if you would like to learn more about simplifying a transition from homeownership to renting an independent senior living apartment home.
Why Choose Independent Senior Living in Roseville, MN?
Renting simply requires a lease be signed and a security deposit be paid. The lease term can vary from annual to month-to-month with the opportunity to vacate with written notice. Payment is made monthly for rent and any additional resident-incurred expenses, and once a lease term is complete, no additional fees are required. No long-term commitment, no property sale or subletting.
Property taxes and insurance are no longer your responsibility either; they are the property owners. Now, you only pay renter’s insurance to cover the replacement value of your belongings in the event of a loss. All building and grounds maintenance is handled by the property owner, as well. This typically includes in-apartment maintenance such as air conditioning filter replacement, window washing, housekeeping, appliance replacement, repairs and utility coverage. Stepping out of your apartment door, the property owner is also responsible for common area cleanliness and upkeep, outdoor lawn care, snow removal, and landscaping.
Independent Senior Living Apartment Amenities and Services
Senior apartment rentals
also typically offer robust amenities and hospitality services that enhance residents’ lifestyle, convenience, and safety. However, not all independent senior living apartment complexes are alike! In RosePointe’s case, safety priorities are addressed with a security system and a 24-7 front desk concierge. Concierges are building entry monitors and are experienced at addressing ongoing resident questions, deliveries, and emergencies. Other community common areas extend residents’ home space to allow for socializing, reading, dining, fitness, gardening, and other activities. Underground heated parking makes coming and going dry and easy and traveling out of town as simple as lock and go. Auxiliary services for hairstyling, dry-cleaning, laundry, transportation, and other personal care services are also available to deliver value-added conveniences to residents’ day-to-day.
Finding the Right Independent Senior Living Community in Roseville, MN
If an apartment rental is a viable option for you, there are numerous independent senior housing identification service publications and placement agencies in Roseville, MN, that can refer communities that best align with your needs. Placement agencies may not include all senior communities in a designated area, as their placement fees are only paid if they have a contract with a community, so make sure you have publications that expand your reach to ALL communities, such as the Twin Cities Senior Housing Guide and Resources.
Once you have selected a senior living apartment home, consider the wide variety of specialists to support downsizing and estate management. Online resources can also help sell, donate, or dispose of unwanted belongings from your current home. Real estate agents and moving companies also offer a broad range of staging, packing, moving and new home set-up services, so vet companies and select the best one depending upon your needs. Remember not all senior rental communities are alike. A good rule of thumb before choosing a senior community or service provider is to evaluate multiple options and secure references!
