WHAT YOU GET
Here is how it works: you pay one monthly rate, and that covers your rent, all utilities, cable TV, and weekly housekeeping. You can add a meal plan if you want or cook in your own kitchenette. That is it. No electric bill showing up in the mail, no calling a plumber when something breaks, no mowing the lawn, no worries!
You keep your independence — you come and go as you please, you live your life on your schedule. But the headaches of homeownership are gone. And if you ever need more support down the road, assisted living and skilled nursing are right here on the same campus.
ALL-INCLUSIVE AMENITIES
Depending on location, laundry services are provided free or laundry appliances are provided free.
Electric, water, gas, and trash — all covered. One less stack of bills to deal with every month.
A full cable television package is included with your apartment. Just turn it on.
A housekeeper comes once a week to do light housekeeping for your apartment. You do not have to lift a finger.
Choose to have meals prepared for you, or cook in your own kitchenette. It is completely up to you.
Something breaks? We fix it. The grounds, the building, the common areas — all taken care of.
LIFE ON CAMPUS
Living independently does not mean living alone. You have your own private space when you want it, and neighbors and friends when you want to socialize with your new friends.
We have two locations that offer a wide range of options. Rooms are all handicap accessible with step-in showers and plenty of grab bars. All rooms are on one level with no steps. Plenty of free parking within 10 yards of any entrance. Depending on location, rooms are either furnished or unfurnished so you can personalize your room how you like it. All locations utilize a monitored fire system and fully fire sprinkled for everyone’s safety. 24-hour security is always available!
COMMON QUESTIONS
Have a question we have not answered? Call us at (423) 490-2188.
What is included in the monthly rent?
One monthly payment covers your furnished apartment, all utilities (electric, water, gas), cable TV package, weekly housekeeping, and access to all campus amenities. Meals are available through an optional meal plan, or you can cook in your own apartment. There are no hidden fees or surprise charges.
Do I need to be a certain age to live here?
Our Independent Living apartments are designed for older adults who are looking for a simpler, maintenance-free lifestyle. There is no strict age requirement, but most of our residents are 55 and older. If you are interested, the best thing to do is schedule a visit and see if it feels like a good fit.
Can I cook in my apartment?
Yes. Every apartment has a kitchenette, or common kitchen, where you can prepare your own meals. Many residents enjoy cooking for themselves. We also offer an optional meal plan if you prefer to have meals prepared for you — or you can mix and match.
Is there medical staff on-site?
Independent Living does not include medical care or nursing staff — it is designed for people who are self-sufficient. However, because our campus also includes an assisted living community and a skilled nursing facility, medical support is literally steps away if your needs ever change. That is one of the biggest advantages of living at Standifer Place.
Can I bring my own furniture?
Some apartments come furnished, but you are welcome to bring your own furniture and personal items. Other apartments are not furnished, so you will have to provide your own furniture. Most residents bring at least some of their own things to make the space feel like home.
What if my health changes and I need more help?
That is one of the best reasons to choose Standifer Place. If you eventually need assisted living or skilled nursing care, it is all right here. You do not have to start over somewhere new. The staff already knows you, and the transition is as smooth as it can be.
