Moving into a senior living community is a big decision—but it doesn’t have to be one you make alone. For many older adults, the idea of sharing a two-bedroom apartment in senior living with a close friend makes the transition not only easier, but also more joyful.
Here are some of the top benefits of living with a friend as a senior:
-
Living With Your Friend
There’s nothing better than having someone you know and love right down the hall—or in this case, right across the living room! Sharing daily life with a trusted friend means laughter, conversation, and the chance to create new memories together.
-
Shared Costs
Sharing a two-bedroom apartment in senior living gives you the chance to split costs while still enjoying all the amenities of senior living. From rent to utilities, sharing expenses can help stretch your budget further and make community living more affordable. We also have partners at Elderlife that can assist with financing support.
-
Easier Transition
Moving into a new home or community can feel intimidating—but having a familiar face by your side makes all the difference. With a friend as your roommate, the process feels less overwhelming and much more exciting.
-
Built-In Support System
Living with a friend means having someone who understands you, encourages you, and looks out for you. That companionship can reduce feelings of loneliness, boost emotional well-being, and provide comfort and reassurance in your daily life.
-
Independence + Connection
Sharing a two-bedroom apartment gives you the best of both worlds: your own private space and the social connection of living with someone you care about. It’s a wonderful balance of independence and community.
