See what your home really costs and what you could gain by making a move to Canton Regency Independent Living.
The cost of staying in your home includes much more than a mortgage or rent. See how everyday household expenses can add up and how Independent Living at Canton Regency can offer a simpler, more convenient way to enjoy the lifestyle you’ve built.
When considering a move to Independent Living, it’s easy to focus on the monthly cost of an apartment and compare it to your current mortgage or rent. But that only tells part of the story.
What Does It Really Cost to Stay Home?
Take a closer look at what you spend each month to maintain your home and your lifestyle. You may be surprised by how quickly those individual expenses add up.
The Canton Regency Cost Comparison Worksheet can help you see the bigger picture. It walks you through common household expenses, including:
- Property taxes and homeowners insurance
- Mortgage or home equity payments
- Groceries and dining out
- Utilities and trash removal
- Phone, internet, cable and streaming
- Housekeeping and laundry
- Transportation
- Landscaping and snow removal
- HOA fees
- Home maintenance and repairs
- Other miscellaneous expenses
Adding these expenses together gives you a clearer picture of what it really costs to stay in your home each month.
And the financial cost is only part of the equation. Consider the time and mental energy that go into maintaining a home — mowing the lawn, shoveling snow, arranging repairs, cleaning, shopping for groceries, preparing meals and keeping up with everything else that comes with homeownership.
What could you do with that time instead? Travel more. Spend more time with family and friends. Pursue a favorite interest. Enjoy a meal with neighbors. Join an activity. Or simply have more freedom to decide how you want to spend your day.
How Does Independent Living Compare?
Independent Living offers a different approach to everyday life. Instead of managing a home and all its associated responsibilities, many of those tasks are handled for you.
At Canton Regency, maintenance, utilities, dining, housekeeping and transportation are part of the Independent Living lifestyle, along with amenities and opportunities to stay active and connected. That means less time spent managing your home and more time to enjoy the life you want to live.
With a vibrant activities calendar, residents have plenty of opportunities to socialize, try something new, pursue their interests and make the most of each day. You’re not just gaining a place to live. You’re gaining convenience, connection and the freedom to spend more of your time doing what you enjoy.
