Reimagining Value in Your Third Act
Living at home may seem simpler, but the costs can add up quickly—mortgage payments, utilities, groceries, caregiving, transportation, dining, and everyday upkeep all factor into the equation.
At Poet’s Walk San Antonio, your monthly cost brings together personalized support, meaningful connection, dining, enrichment, wellness programs, and community life in one place designed around ease, predictability, and peace of mind.
So how does senior living compare? Let’s take a closer look.
Costs Savings: The Numbers
At least 30% of Americans over 65 still carry a mortgage. On average, seniors spend $1000/month on housing alone—not including HOA or condo fees.
From property taxes to maintenance and utilities, homeownership costs add up fast. Monthly out-of-pocket expenses for homes valued between $150K–$500K range from $1,100 to $3,000.
Home health care averages $25/hour. Even with minimum support (3 hours/day, 30 days/month), that’s around $1,800 per month.
Pottery class? Book club? Sunday brunch? It all adds up. Most seniors spend about $250/month on recreation and enrichment.
Internet, cable, and landlines—the classic “triple play”—can exceed $250/month on your own.
Doctor visits, grocery runs, and errands rack up. The average monthly transportation cost for seniors? $715.
With recent inflation, three meals a day, vitamins, and special diets total nearly $750 per month for most seniors.

Poets Walk was the most kind and caring place for residents. They took the time to learn about mom, and found ways to interact her that gave her purpose.

Poet’s Walk was exactly what we were looking for in a memory care. The structure of the building, its bright atmosphere, the friendly staff: all of these things make my mom feel happy to be there.
