Using the Cost Comparison Worksheet

It can be easy to lose sight of the true costs of homeownership. Especially if you’re no longer paying off a mortgage. But even if that’s the case for you, there are many, many more expenses you’ll continue to contend with for as long as you remain in your home, regardless of your age or current level of income. Taxes, insurance, utility bills, maintenance, repairs, replacements, security and other services, food, transportation, recreation, entertainment — it’s a very long list. As you bring these expenses into sharper focus, it can become increasingly clear that the cost of independent living in a continuing care retirement community like Woodland Pond is not only competitive with owning and maintaining a home; in fact, it compares quite favorably.

That’s why we created the senior living Cost Comparison Worksheet. Once you see everything that’s included with residency at Woodland Pond, as well as the many unexpected extras — such as potential tax advantages — you’ll have a more accurate idea of the real value of choosing our community.
