Making the Move Without Financial Stress: A Smarter Way to Transition into Independent Living
Moving into independent senior living is a big step—but for many older adults, the financial piece can feel like the biggest hurdle. What if we told you there’s a smart, stress-free way to afford it without dipping into your savings or retirement?
At Topanga Gardens Independent Living, we help seniors stay independent while turning their biggest asset—their home—into a source of monthly income.
💡 The Solution: Rent Out Your Home
If you own your home and no longer need the space (or upkeep), renting it out can generate the cash flow needed to pay for your stay at Topanga Gardens—often with money left over.
Example:
Let’s say your house rents for $2,800/month. A shared room at Topanga Gardens is only $1,500/month, all-inclusive. That leaves you with:
No utilities to worry about
No groceries or cooking
No maintenance headaches
And $1,300 in extra income
🏡 How We Help You Do It
We partner with trusted local property managers who handle:
Listing your home
Screening tenants
Collecting rent
Maintenance and repairs
You stay hands-off, while your home becomes your financial safety net.
