Independent Living in Virginia
Virginia is a great place for seniors to spend their golden years. With exciting venues such as the Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center and the Chrysler Museum of Art, there’s plenty to keep those living in this city entertained as they transition into and continue to enjoy their retirement. In the state’s larger cities, such as Virginia Beach and Richmond, seniors have access to endless amenities, including shops, services and world-class medical facilities. While the overall cost of living in Virginia is just slightly above the national average, seniors can benefit from lower utility, grocery and transportation costs throughout the state.
Seniors in Virginia may appreciate the opportunity to live in one of the state’s independent living communities, where they can reside among peers and take advantage of services that are often available, such as housekeeping, chef-prepared meals and planned social activities. The average cost of independent living in Virginia is about $3,153 per month, just slightly more than the national average.
In this guide, we provide further information about independent living and senior care costs in Virginia, as well as details regarding how to pay for it and resources that may be of help to seniors living here.
The Cost of Independent Living in Virginia
Note: Independent Living is usually 30%-40% cheaper than Assisted Living, but no authoritative cost data is available. We calculated our average costs of Independent Living by using Assisted Living costs established in the 2021 Genworth Financial Cost of Care Survey and subtracting 35% from this amount.
Virginia is one of the more expensive states to live in, as demonstrated by an average cost of Independent Living that’s $488 higher than the national average. Its cost is also higher than all bordering states. Maryland is closest in cost and also higher than the national average but still $228 less than Virginia. Independent Living costs in West Virginia, Tennessee and North Carolina are all lower than the national average and lower than Virginia’s average by $709, $745 and $806, respectively. Kentucky has the lowest cost in the area, which is $1,172 lower than Virginia.
Independent Living costs in Virginia’s cities run the gamut from a high of $3,851 in Roanoke to a low of $3,006 in Lynchburg. Charlottesville’s cost is also on the high side at $3,705, while Winchester’s cost of $3,260, Richmond’s $3,186 and Virginia Beach’s $3,049 are all below the state average.
Seniors in Virginia have a wide array of care options, from nonresidential Adult Day Health Care at a low average cost of $1,690 per month to various levels of care in a residential setting. Within their own homes, seniors can opt for In-Home Care at an average cost of $4,767 or Home Health Care for $4,954. Independent Living offers the least restrictive residential care with an average cost of $3,413, while Assisted Living provides personalized support at a cost of $5,250 per month. Nursing Home Care offers the highest level of support and runs $8,213 in semiprivate quarters or $9,155 in a private room.
Can You Use Medicare or Medicaid to Pay for Independent Living in Virginia?
Unfortunately, you cannot use Medicaid and Medicare to help pay the monthly fee for residing in an Independent Living community. For seniors who need help with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), there may be financial assistance programs available to help cover the cost of care in Independent Living. For more information about financial assistance for those who need a higher level of care, read our guide to Assisted Living in Virginia.
Read on for more information about using alternative means to make Independent Living more affordable, such as retirement funds, the sale of a home, etc.
Paying for Independent Living in Virginia
While programs such as Medicaid and Medicare don’t pay for independent living, seniors do have some options available when it comes to paying for this option. In some cases, previously purchased long-term care insurance policies may cover partial independent living costs, but for those who don’t have this type of insurance, other options, including reverse mortgages and whole life insurance cash-outs can help with the expense. It’s also good to keep in mind that independent living sometimes includes services such as food and transportation, so retirement income that normally goes toward these expenses can be easily redirected to cover independent living costs.
Independent Living Resources in Virginia
Across Virginia, there are many free and low-cost resources available to seniors that can offer help with meals, personal care, transportation and other needs to prolong independence and ensure the safety of the state’s older population. These programs are generally administered by government or nonprofit agencies.

I noticed the residents that lived there. I was checking out their overall attitude and everything. It seemed like everyone was happy there. I had a nice experience when I walked in.
The food was good. On that particular day, they had barbecue chicken. I had spinach, mashed potatoes, and a salad. They brought rolls around for everyone. You had your choice of drink. The way they did the meals was excellent, and that is how they do them every day. I really liked that. It was really nice.

My father has moved into Heritage Oaks. He went and selected the place, but I liked it, too. I liked the grounds. I liked that it was a gated community. The staff was wonderful. I believe he’s going to be pleased with the amenities and the dining hall. It looks nice. My experience was good.
The staff was very helpful. They presented me with all the information, and they answered all of my questions. They also provided a discount for my father because he’s a veteran, so that helped. They have a library, a computer room, a movie theater, and a game room. They have an activity bus, and they have a monthly calendar of events.
They provide meals, so they have a daily menu. They have a bus that would take them back and forth to his doctor’s appointments, and they take trips to different locations like Wal-Mart and Target. They have 24-hour staff, and I like that. The only dealing I’ve had with the staff was trying to get him into the place. I like the building. They give them something to do every day.

I recently went on a lunch tour here and I was very impressed with the food they had to offer! Have have new entrees weekly but have an a la carte menu that is available all day everyday, which is very nice because sometimes I don’t want something heavy for lunch if I know I’m also going to have a big dinner. Eating in the dining room is just like going to a restaurant, you have fancy menus on the tables with fresh flowers, servers that come and take your order, cloth napkins, etc. I am a big fan of ice cream and they said they have at least 8 different flavors Hershey’s Ice Cream available everyday! After eating we were showed the rest of the building and I like how they have different activities offered on different floors/areas, it encourages people to walk around the building more and also show that they like to use all of the space they have.

The place stands out because all else in this densely populated area seems long in the tooth. The Highway shop is one neighbor on Basie Road where something attracts fast, loud cars and motorcycles.
This 2019 construction was clearly done at the lowest possible cost; it looks good but things tend to fit poorly, make noise (think washer, dishwasher, refrigerator) and yet look nice because they’re new. Lots of staff turnover and food for which all pay monthly, is sketchy at best.
Activities range from coloring books to NASCAR race tickets, local plays to D.C. or mountain day trips. Yes, transportation is provided to doctor’s appointments if you make them on Tue. or Thurs.

I reached out via email and twice by phone and left voice message four days ago requesting info regarding income guidelines. I have yet to receive a courtesy response email or return call. How terribly rude and unacceptable (especially since Norcroft recording indicated that a return phone call would be made the next business day. I’m thinking this initial encounter would be the first of many disappointing interactions with Norcroft Townhomes. I am now withdrawing my interest in possibly seeking residence there.
