Planning Considerations

• The Tremont is an independent living community rather than an assisted living facility
• Residents should ask which services and utilities are included in the current monthly rental rate
• Optional supportive services may be arranged separately through third-party providers
• Availability, floor plans, apartment features, and lease terms may change
• Residents with changing care needs should discuss available support options and whether the community can continue to meet their needs

Costs & Planning Considerations

Independent living communities such as The Tremont typically combine apartment housing with services and amenities for a monthly rental cost. This can make expenses more predictable than maintaining a traditional home, but it is important to understand exactly what is included and which services may involve additional charges.

Before choosing an apartment, prospective residents may want to review the current rental structure, lease terms, included services, and how costs could change over time.

• What is included in the monthly rental rate?
• Are there entrance, community, or other one-time fees?
• Which utilities, meals, housekeeping, and transportation services are included?
• How long is the lease, and how are future rent increases handled?
• What additional costs could apply if supportive services are needed later?

When comparing independent living with remaining at home, it may be helpful to consider the full cost of homeownership—including utilities, maintenance, repairs, lawn care, transportation, and other household expenses—rather than comparing monthly rent with a mortgage payment alone.

Questions to Ask

Questions to Ask During a Tour

Touring an independent living community such as The Tremont is an opportunity to look beyond the apartment itself and understand how daily life actually works. Ask about monthly costs, meals, transportation, activities, lease terms, and which services are included.

It is also worth asking what happens if your needs change over time. Use the printable Independent Living Tour Checklist to take notes and compare communities more easily.
