For many older adults, the idea of aging in place has traditionally meant staying in the same house for as long as possible. But times have changed. Today, aging in place is just as much about comfort, safety, and long-term support as it is about familiarity. That’s why more seniors in Fort Worth, TX, are turning to vibrant communities like Broadway Cityview, where aging in place means living with ease, connection, and peace of mind.
Whether you’re exploring options for yourself, your partner, or a parent, it’s worth redefining what aging in place really looks like — and how a move can actually help preserve your independence.
Aging in Place Is About Support, Not Just Staying Put
Staying in a long-time home might seem like the most comfortable option, but it doesn’t always meet the needs of aging adults. For some, that might mean costly renovations to improve accessibility. For others, it may mean navigating household upkeep that has become physically or financially challenging.
Broadway Cityview offers an alternative — a private apartment lifestyle tailored to seniors, where help is available when needed, and independence is encouraged. Aging in place doesn’t have to mean staying where you are. It can also mean moving to a community that’s built for the future you deserve.
The True Cost of Staying at Home
It’s easy to assume that staying in your home is more affordable than moving into a senior living community. But when you break down the actual costs, the reality may surprise you. Expenses that often add up quickly include:
- Routine maintenance, repairs, and major system upgrades
- Property taxes and homeowners insurance
- Monthly utilities, lawn care, and seasonal services
- Home modifications like ramps, grab bars, or stair lifts
- In-home care services, often around $5,000/month
- Emergency alert systems and safe transportation options
Over time, especially if health needs evolve, these costs can easily equal or surpass the monthly rate of a senior living community.
What’s Included at Broadway Cityview
At Broadway Cityview, residents benefit from a lifestyle that simplifies expenses and enhances day-to-day living. Independent living starts at just $2,995/month, and includes:
- Concierge services for everyday convenience
- 24/7 professional staff presence
- Elegant restaurant-style dining
- Nutritious, chef-inspired meals
- Indoor pool, spa, and fitness facilities
- Wellness services and scheduled transportation

- Garden courtyard and greenhouse

When comparing these inclusive services to the out-of-pocket costs of maintaining a private home and arranging care independently, the advantages of senior living become much clearer.

Planning Ahead: Smart Financial Considerations
Good financial planning for the future goes beyond comparing rent to mortgage. It should take into account:
- The total cost of aging at home (now and in the future)
- Long-term care needs and potential insurance coverage
- Veterans’ benefits or other forms of assistance
- The emotional and physical impact on loved ones providing care
- Your goals for quality of life, social engagement, and well-being
By looking at the big picture, many families discover that senior living is not only more feasible — it’s often the smarter, more sustainable choice.
