General Frequently Asked Questions About Senior Living
Independent living is ideal for older adults seeking a hassle-free lifestyle with minimal care needs, while assisted living communities provide personalized care to help with activities of daily living. Memory care supports individuals with Alzheimer’s or dementia, offering structured programs in a secure setting.

No, Edition of Saginaw is not a continuing care retirement community (CCRC). However, our services — independent living, assisted living, and memory care — create a continuum of care to meet changing needs, giving residents and families peace of mind, knowing they won’t need to relocate.
CCRCs are large communities that offer a range of services — from independent living to skilled nursing care — under one contract. Residents typically pay a significant upfront fee and ongoing monthly costs, securing long-term access to advanced medical care. In contrast, Edition of Saginaw offers flexible, personalized care without requiring a large upfront investment, giving families greater financial flexibility. Our goal is to meet your needs today while adapting as they change, ensuring your comfort and peace of mind over time.
Costs vary by apartment size and type of care. For example, independent living starts at $2,595 per month, while assisted living begins at $4,200 per month. Please contact us for a detailed cost breakdown and available floor plans.
Senior living, especially assisted living and memory care, falls into two payment structures. The base cost covers essentials such as rent, utilities, meals, housekeeping, and access to common areas and activities. Care costs depend on individual needs and include services like medication management, assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), and personalized care plans. This flexible approach ensures each resident receives the right level of support for their unique situation.
Families can explore several options to cover costs, including personal savings, pensions, VA benefits (Aid & Attendance), long-term care insurance, and bridge loans. We’re happy to provide guidance on these options if needed.
Yes! Residents in independent living and assisted living can bring pets. Although pets aren’t typically part of memory care, we offer regular pet therapy sessions for those residents, helping enhance their quality of life.
Independent Living Questions

Assisted Living Questions

According to the 2023 Genworth Cost of Care Survey, the national average for assisted living is $5,350 per month. In Texas, the average is around $4,915, while Fort Worth averages $5,241. At Edition of Saginaw, our assisted living rates start at $4,200 per month.
Several factors affect the cost of senior care, including location, level of care, and amenities offered. Communities in larger cities or metropolitan areas typically have higher rates due to elevated living costs, while smaller towns often provide more affordable options.

- What services are included in the monthly fee?
- Are there opportunities for personalized care and activity programming?

- How does the community support activities of daily living (ADLs)?

- Can I sample a meal?
