Given the ever-increasing rents across the country, senior citizens often face a challenge when it comes to finding a comfortable, affordable place to live — especially on a fixed income.

Many seniors are still in relatively good health and seek an independent lifestyle, but how do they find senior-only housing complexes that offer them the amenities and services they need at rates they can afford? Believe it or not, there are many affordable senior housing options out there if you know where to look and can meet the qualifying criteria.
