Did you try and call for an update?

You can rent CYV with a garage for less than 2000 a month. Just pay the 50 for a transfer of amenity use?

There is another option not mentioned yet, if you really want closer to apartment living rather than house living, which are the townhouses near Spanish Springs. Technically they are condos I believe. Neither you nor the landlord have to maintain the exterior (roof, irrigation, planting) and you have a little courtyard to yourself. Yes there are stairs but some have elevator. There is one actively available for rental right now. And unlike the Lofts at Spanish Springs Patten House you actually have garage parking.

The entrance prices range from $228,700 with a monthly fee of $3,150 for a studio apartment with the "no refund" option to $819,300 with a monthly fee of $5,040 for a 2 BR, 2B, plus Den apartment with the 90 percent refund option. The second person fee is $19,100 plus $1,270 per month. Note that the majority of the apartments have 2 bedrooms or 1 bedroom with a den. There are very few 1 bedroom or studio apartments.

Yes, you do get a LIFE CARE care plan, but you still need to pay an additional monthly cost if you move from independent living to assisted living or to the nursing care facility. However, the monthly charges are somewhat discounted in those facilities. I'm not sure what you mean by not paying another penny for care, but that is not true, unless you are broke. If you totally run out of money, they will not require you to move out.

Apartment in villages
 

Look at individual unfurnished homes ( long term leases) in the villages. Then you can pick the location, have more room, pay less money each month and have the villages access cards.

I rented short term ( monthly) fully furnished for five months before buying. It was great. I spent time in several villages to experience the convenience of each home.

I looked at the lofts and the price was way too much money for the small space.

Did you see the the talk of the villages today? There is some one looking to rent their home out. There are property management companies that could help you find the right home at the right price/ location

New apartments in Spanish Springs - approx. $3900/mo+ for 1425 sq ft. I believe and they had some left as of last week.

The good thing about that month to month lease is it allows for a “lease break” in case of illness or death. My MIL was a resident of an independent living facility. Shortly after moving in she got so ill she needed to move out and we were able to work with the facility to leave her things there to be sorted after she died. Very convenient.

If they are going to require a month-to-month lease, they should furnish the apartments. Who would want to furnish and decorate an apartment, when they can throw you out or raise your rent at any time?

One would think that the "month to month" lease is there to protect the renter...

I highly doubt it's there so that they can "throw you out at any time"...

And there is most likely a yearly rent increase clause, not an "any time" clause...

Call me I can help you.
