Senior Living vs. Homeownership: A Cost Comparison

Many families are surprised to discover that the “all-inclusive” nature of senior living can often be more financially predictable and less burdensome than the ongoing costs of homeownership. When comparing, consider these everyday expenses associated with maintaining a home in Lake San Marcos:

  • Mortgage or Rent Payments
  • Property Taxes
  • Home Insurance
  • Utilities: Electricity, gas, water, internet, cable, trash removal
  • Home Maintenance & Repairs: Unexpected expenses for plumbing, roofing, appliances, landscaping, etc.
  • Groceries & Meal Preparation
  • Transportation Costs
  • Out-of-Pocket Healthcare Expenses
  • Social & Recreational Activities

At Meridian at Lake San Marcos, our comprehensive services help save you time, stress, and often money by consolidating various expenses into one predictable monthly fee. This allows residents to enjoy their golden years without worrying about home upkeep.

The Meridian is by far the best senior living community I have ever seen. I have moved my dad to two senior living communities and this one by far takes it.

Living here has been the best experience of my life. I have made a lot of new friends being here and the staff is great. Servers go above and beyond to perform an outstanding fine dining experience. My caregivers are always responsive when I need them. Bingo is my favorite activity, not because I win or lose, but because of the amount of friends I have made here.

My mother was a resident of the Meridian at Lake San Marcos for 3.5 years and she absolutely LOVED it!!! The staff were always professional and truly caring! The amenities and activities are too numerous to detail and incredibly PHENOMENAL! I highly recommend and consider the Meridian the BEST in Southern California as I have had the opportunity to experience several!
