Reimagining Value in Your Third Act
Living at home in South Jersey isn’t always simple—or cost-effective. Mortgage payments, utilities, caregiving, groceries, and even entertainment can quickly add up. At Juniper Village at Washington Square, you get it all: personalized care, vibrant community life, and the comforts of home, all in one predictable monthly cost.
How does Juniper compare to staying at home? Let’s break it down.
Costs Savings: The Numbers
At least 30% of Americans over 65 still carry a mortgage. On average, seniors spend $1000/month on housing alone—not including HOA or condo fees.
From property taxes to maintenance and utilities, homeownership costs add up fast. Monthly out-of-pocket expenses for homes valued between $150K–$500K range from $1,100 to $3,000.
Home health care averages $25/hour. Even with minimum support (3 hours/day, 30 days/month), that’s around $1,800 per month.
Pottery class? Book club? Sunday brunch? It all adds up. Most seniors spend about $250/month on recreation and enrichment.
Internet, cable, and landlines—the classic “triple play”—can exceed $250/month on your own.
Doctor visits, grocery runs, and errands rack up. The average monthly transportation cost for seniors? $715.
With recent inflation, three meals a day, vitamins, and special diets total nearly $750 per month for most seniors.

Financial Support Options
Veterans or surviving spouses may qualify for up to $1,800/month to help cover care needs. This federal benefit supports services in assisted living or personal care settings.
Offering flexible short-term loans, Elderlife’s line of credit is ideal for those waiting on benefit approvals or home sales.
Want to share a space? Companion suites lower monthly costs while still including full Juniper amenities and programs.
The IRS allows deductions for care in senior communities if the primary reason is medical. Families may also use the gift tax exemption when helping with expenses.
Always consult a tax advisor for personalized guidance.

My dad has been here for nine months. While he’s in the last stages of Alzheimer’s, his case is not typical. Juniper took him, accepted him and encouraged him. He is not himself due to his illness, but he is happy and for that, I thank Juniper. The staff goes above and beyond to make sure the residents are on the right track. We can’t ask for any more for our loved ones.
