Many assume senior living is beyond their financial reach, but Bellevue Park Senior Living in Aldergrove offers affordable options to meet the diverse needs of retirees.
Whether you're downsizing from a family home, living on a fixed income, or seeking a supportive environment with health care services, senior living may be a more cost-effective and fulfilling choice than you realize.
“All of our residents come from different backgrounds, seeking affordable senior living for their own unique reasons,” says Sherri Martin of Bellevue Park.
“From solo retirees to active couples, health-focused seniors to downsizers, we have a solution for every lifestyle and budget.”
The solo retiree
Background: A retired individual, living alone, perhaps after the passing of a spouse or a decision to downsize from a family home. They may be receiving income from a pension or savings but are cautious about how to budget for the future.
Why senior living?: After looking at the costs of maintaining their own home - property taxes, utilities, repairs- they realize that a senior living community offers a simpler, more affordable solution. They no longer have to worry about unexpected expenses and can enjoy a maintenance-free lifestyle with social opportunities.
What makes it affordable: All-inclusive pricing that covers meals, utilities, and activities, allowing them to maintain a comfortable lifestyle without the hidden costs of homeownership.
The active couple
Background: A couple who spent years building their careers and raising a family. They are still in relatively good health and are looking to transition into a lifestyle that gives them more freedom from home maintenance but keeps them socially and physically active.
Why senior living?:They’re surprised to find that the cost of living in a community like Bellevue Park is more predictable and manageable than the fluctuating expenses of owning and maintaining a house. They appreciate the built-in social activities and fitness opportunities while living independently.
What makes it affordable: The couple benefits from bundled services, eliminating individual payments for things like groceries, entertainment, and utilities, making their monthly expenses easier to manage.
The downsizer
Background: A senior who has spent decades in their family home, but as children have moved out and physical upkeep has become more demanding, they seek a simpler, more manageable living situation.
Why senior living?: They discover that selling their house provides the financial flexibility to move into a senior living community where they can focus on enjoying their retirement years rather than managing the responsibilities of homeownership.
What makes it affordable: They use the equity from the home sale to cover living expenses in a senior living community, which provides financial predictability and fewer unexpected costs compared to managing a home.
The budget-conscious retiree
Background: A retiree who is living on a fixed income, like a government pension or savings. They may have assumed that senior living would be beyond their financial reach.
Why senior living?: After doing some research, they find that senior living communities like Bellevue Park offer various pricing options and amenities that fit within their budget. The inclusion of services like meals, transportation, and utilities helps them live comfortably without stretching their finances.
What makes it affordable: With careful planning and flexible payment structures, this retiree finds that senior living can actually help them save money on living expenses while enjoying a better quality of life.
The health-focused senior
Background: A senior who may be starting to need some assistance with daily living activities or health care but wants to remain as independent as possible.
Why senior living?: They choose a community like Bellevue Park because it offers the necessary medical support and health services within an affordable living package. The cost of living includes health-related services, which makes it easier for them to manage their health without additional strain on their budget.
What makes it affordable: The built-in healthcare services and on-site amenities reduce the need for expensive outside care, creating a more affordable long-term solution for their needs.
