Independent Living Cottages

comfortable living accommodations. Our spacious cottages all have 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths, a fully

system, and extra wide doorways throughout.
At Homewood, there are a variety of options and upgrades available beyond just paint and flooring so that
your cottage will be as unique as you are! Gas fireplaces, extended kitchen peninsulas, upgraded cabinetry
and appliances are just a few of the many upgrades that can be requested. If we can do it, we will add any
upgrade you can dream of. Do you love to garden? Our Maintenance staff will help you get started by
building some raised beds in your yard. No two cottages are exactly the same which enables you to make
your cottage more than just a house – make it your home.
. . . enjoy spacious
accommodations . . .

Cottages can be either rented or life leased. When life leasing your cottage, you are opting to pay
the amount of the life lease up front, thereby eliminating monthly rental fees. One of the greatest
benefits of life leasing is that you have prepaid your biggest living expense in today’s dollars
and you can live in your cottage for as long as you are able. You only pay a monthly service fee,
there is also a small monthly meal minimum requirement, cable, phone, and gas and electric
expenses. Life leasing is transferable from a cottage to an apartment.
When you rent a cottage, you have a monthly rental fee plus a monthly service fee, meal
minimum, cable, phone, and gas and electric expenses.
The monthly service fee includes maintenance of your cottage, grounds, real estate taxes,
water, sewage, garbage removal, access to the amenities and programs at the Community
Center and most planned events.*

apartments
Independent Living Apartments
At Homewood, all of our apartments come with fully-equipped kitchens, a walk-in closet in the master
bedroom, large windows, a washer and dryer, and full, handicap-accessible bathrooms. We offer bright,
spacious 1 bedroom/1 bath, 1 bedroom/1 bath plus den, and 2 bedrooms/2 baths apartments. Many of
the apartments have balcony patios and scenic views.
Apartments may be either life-leased or rented. When life leasing your apartment, you are opting to pay
the amount of the life lease up front, thereby eliminating monthly rental fees. One of the greatest
benefits of life leasing is that you have locked in your biggest living expense in today’s dollars. Your rent
can never be increased and you can live in your apartment for as long as you are able. You only pay a
monthly service fee, meal minimum, phone, and cable expenses.
When you rent an apartment, you have a monthly rental fee plus a monthly service fee, meal minimum,
phone, and cable expenses.
The service fee includes all utilities except cable and phone, maintenance of apartment, grounds and
Community Center, real estate taxes, use of entire Community Center, and most planned events.*

home care program
Independent Living Home Services
At Homewood, we understand that the services each person requires are never exactly the same. Our
resident-centered approach results in plenty of choices – choices about day-to-day living, services and
care options. Our goal is to allow every resident to stay as independent as possible for as long as
possible. This helps to maintain the happiness and dignity of our residents and maximizes their quality
of life.
There are many types of home services available to residents. If you are recovering from a hospital stay
or need help taking care of a spouse, or if you just need a little extra help but are still independent, we
can provide services right in your home. They include:
Housekeeping
Grocery shopping
Meal delivery
Laundry service
Some nursing assistance and personal care
Transportation
All services are available as needed -- either short-term or long-term provided at a very reasonable rate
by professional and caring Homewood staff. Residents only pay for those services which they use.
At Homewood, you will experience the retirement lifestyle you’ve always dreamed of with the security
of knowing that you have access to a lifetime of care.
