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.

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.

The tour at Holiday Virginian was very good. They’re very cooperative, very outgoing, showed us everything we wanted to see, we were very pleased with the surroundings and the cleanliness of the place. The only drawback was the pricing was much higher than the other places we looked at. We met several staff members. They were very polite and seemed interested in everybody’s welfare. The rooms are very nice, about average size from what we’ve seen elsewhere. Very clean and well-maintained. I was a little surprised to find that when you get a two-bedroom size, you get the kitchenette, whereas in some of the other places you get the full kitchen. So, that was a little disappointing, especially at that price. We did not try the food, but we saw a couple of meals being served, and it looked very good.

The apartment I saw had a nice design, roomy, with its own kitchen and bathroom. It was a nice and spacious apartment. The staffs who accommodated me during the tour were friendly and helpful. I also saw a gym, on Fridays they take the residents wherever they want to go. They would take them out to dinners and come back to pick them up. So I like the way their transportation system was set up, it’s overall a nice place.

It is the highest, it’s like $5,000 a month for a one-bedroom apartment, and that’s pretty high for just independent living. However, it’s like a resort.

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. It was a very nice tour and a very nice meal!

Lakewood was very impressive. Unfortunately, it was during COVID, so we didn’t get to tour the living facilities. They had just finished renovations. Their staff was really pleasant and nice. I even put a deposit down there. That’s a buy-in, and I would love to go there, but they’re a little bit more expensive than I can handle. They have two meals a day, which are lunch and dinner. They had two or three restaurant-type things. They had their main dining room, which was like restaurant service. Then they had a bistro, a private dining room, and they had a snack shop. All the amenities were great. One of the things I like was it has Life Care. They have good exercise equipment, a pool, medical facilities onsite, transportation to medical appointments within limits, nice lounge areas, and a library.

I took a tour of Discovery Village At the West End. I saw the facility. The people there were wonderful, and I really liked it. It was further away from where I wanted to be, and it was more expensive.
This facility had a building that was independent living and another building that was assisted living. There was a third building that was memory care. I was invited to return and eat there.
The people that I met were very friendly. The residents were very friendly. They were in the middle of a yoga class when I was there. They were very nice, and the place was very pleasant. There were two women that I met with, who were in the sales area. They were both extremely pleasant and extremely invested in their community. They love where they work, and it shows.
It was not old, but it was an older facility compared to the other one I toured. The decor is not in-style for today, but it fit with the people that they have there. Their median age is 82.

Special meals were provided. The only thing I didn’t like too much was the drive into it. Even though it’s conveniently located, it is somehow built in an area where you have to drive through an apartment complex with a bunch of speedbumps to get there. It was kind of weird. It was not like a prominent-looking place, but once you got there it was very comparable to the other places.

For instance, if you don’t have a key to get in, there’s no real intercom system and somebody would have to come downstairs and let you in. There’s nobody at the front desk. Her main worry is if she gets sick, there’s no one to call. There’s no dining hall where she can go and get breakfast, lunch, and dinner, or at least some meals, even if it’s just two meals. There’s nothing like that. It’s just an apartment building. The staff is constantly changing, they can’t seem to keep anyone. The facility itself is decent.

My parents are still in Forest Creek. It is a decent place. It’s for 55-plus only. What I like best is the accommodations. Everything is on one floor. It’s a really clean area, which is what I like best. As far as the maintenance, the worst thing is the response time when you’re trying to get some questions answered. The response time can really be better. My parents make their own food. They have activities. It’s not much, but my parents don’t participate at this time. They have a community center there that give programs or events. They have a salon or someone who does hair. For what they’re paying for, it’s pretty average for what they have.

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.
