| Financing & Cost
of Living Calculations
Senior retirement living is a great value!
The following cost comparison worksheet will allow you to calculate
your monthly expenses at your current home/apartment against the
cost of moving into a senior community.
Once you total your monthly bill and factor in that these costs
are included in your monthly service plan at Franciscan Communities,
you'll
see why so many of our current residents consider our communities
to be a great value.
In addition, redirecting your lifestyle at Franciscan Communities
helps you live your life to the fullest thanks to maintenance-free
living, which gives you plenty of free time to enjoy the finer things
in life. Plus, unlike at your current home, our communities have many
amenities that are within walking distance of your front door. Imagine
beautiful chapels, swimming pools, fitness centers, libraries, cafés,
game rooms, beauty parlors, barber shops, media centers, community
areas, scenic walking areas, beautiful courtyards and more, just a
stroll away.
