Planning for senior living involves more than just choosing the right community—it’s about making sure it fits your budget. A retirement cost of living calculator helps compare expenses, anticipate future needs, and explore funding options to make the transition as seamless as possible. At Clark, we know that cost is a key factor in deciding when and where to move. That’s why we offer transparent pricing, flexible financial plans, and resources to help you navigate the process.

Part of the problem for seniors looking to right-size their lives is that they don’t think they have choices, especially when it comes to money. Because it is a touchy subject for some, sticking with the status quo feels like the only choice. This couldn’t be further from the truth.
We know that talking about finances can feel overwhelming, so we’ve made it simple. Instead of spending hours researching on the internet and doing a cost analysis based on your own situation, we have created a handy quiz that will help you figure out if an independent living community is right for you.
With two beautiful communities, a variety of residence options, and a maintenance-free lifestyle, Clark makes independent and assisted living more accessible than you might think.
