Affordable senior living probably seems like a paradox. With inflation rates and basic costs that continue to climb, it’s easy to see why long-term care may not seem like a viable option.
However, the benefits and savings built into a senior living community can far outweigh the initial sticker shock – leaving you better off than you would’ve been with a traditional apartment or home. This is a bold claim – so let’s break it down:
- You’ll have a full range of services.
Whether it’s Trilogy or a competitor, most senior living communities bundle multiple expenses into one monthly rate, including rent, utilities, meals, and housekeeping.
At Trilogy, we’re proud to offer a full continuum of care that spans Assisted Living, Memory Care, Independent Living, and Skilled Services. To learn more about the services we provide, visit our care & living options page located here.
- No more surprise maintenance costs.
Never again worry about having to set aside 1% – 4% of your home’s value just to keep up with the upkeep. With senior living, your property taxes, repairs, and lawn care are all covered under one convenient fee.
Our cost comparison checklist provides a full outline of what you can save when moving in to a traditional Trilogy community – from yard care and HOA fees to groceries and laundry services.
- Meals are provided for you.
With breakfast, lunch, and dinner provided, you don’t need to budget for groceries or dining out. *Meal options may vary across Independent Living communities.
Through dining programs like Flavorful Dignity and Flavorful Balance, our-four star chefs provide delicious, savory meals that rival the best of fine dining. Click here to learn more.
- You can save big on medical expenses.
With Assisted Living and Memory Care, access to on-site health services reduces the need for costly in-home care or frequent trips to the doctor. This can significantly lower medical expenses over time

- You’ll have access to senior health, wellness, and social programs.
From fitness classes to game nights, senior living communities often offer a full calendar of activities at no extra charge. Staying active and social has never been easier—or more affordable.
Our Life Enrichment programs mean that we offer at least one activity every 90 minutes – including tai chi classes, happy hours, book & poetry clubs, and trips into the community. Visit our lifestyle page located here.
- No need to stress about prices at the gas pump.
No need to worry about maintaining a car or paying for public transportation. Many communities offer transportation for errands, appointments, and social outings.
