I recently visited the Sumter Senior Living independent section (not assisted living) and the Watercrest facility on Rt 466. At both of those facilities, you will pay about $6,000 per month for an independent living 2-bedroom apartment. To me, even though it included meals, I thought the cost was way too expensive. Also, you need to provide your own furniture and you do not get a lease. It is on a month-to-month basis only. The one thing that I liked about these facilities is that you can get a Villages resident ID card so you can use the Villages amenities. If that is important, to you need to verify it, because at some local assisted living facilities, you will no longer be a Villages resident.
