More about this provider
| No standalone property website was found. VOANS (developer/owner) announced the February 19, 2025 grand re-opening of the renovated Creekside Manor I & II in Clearwater: a 91-unit property for older adults in two buildings, with in-unit new flooring, energy-efficient appliances, water heaters, light fixtures, bathroom upgrades and enhanced ADA unit upgrades, and common-area new flooring, light fixtures, HVAC system and WiFi. The rehabilitation was financed through state and 4% low-income housing tax credits (LIHTC) from Florida Housing and Finance Corporation, tax-exempt bonds, a construction loan, and VOANS Capital Magnet Fund equity (financing, not a resident payment type). | |
| Services and programs | Service coordinators help connect residents with transportation, training, available benefits and more (VOANS re-opening announcement for the renovated Clearwater properties). The VOA Florida Creekside Manor team story describes staff regularly scheduling health-conscious activities for residents, such as on-site blood pressure checks, and working with a resident's family on a tailored care plan to support health and wellbeing. |
| Who it serves | Affordable housing for older adults, ages 62+, and lower-income seniors. Creekside Manor I & II together are a 91-unit housing property for older adults, in two buildings separated by a stormwater creek berm, developed by Volunteers of America National Services (VOANS) and managed by Volunteers of America of Florida. VOA Florida describes Creekside Manor as affordable housing in an independent living environment. |
| Visiting and contact details | Neither official page read publishes the property's street address or property phone number. The VOA Florida pages give the manager's head office only: Volunteers of America of Florida, 850 5th Ave South Suite 1100, St. Petersburg, FL 33701, (727) 369-8500 - that is the manager's office, not the property. |

How much does independent living cost?
There is no single price for independent living. Rent is set by each community and varies a lot by city. The cost survey this site uses does not publish a national median for independent living, so we do not print one. Medicare does not pay for it, so families pay the rent out of pocket. See our guide to independent living costs and who pays for the full picture.
Does Medicare pay for independent living?
No. Medicare does not pay rent or housing costs. It pays for your medical care while you live there, like doctor visits, hospital care, and home health visits. The housing itself is paid out of pocket.
What is the difference between independent living and assisted living?
Independent living is housing for older adults who can live on their own. It gives a private home, meals in some places, and social activities. It does not include help with daily tasks. Assisted living adds that help. Staff help with bathing, dressing, and medicine, and staff are on hand day and night.
Who else pays for independent living besides Medicare?
Families pay the rent out of pocket. No insurance pays for independent living rent. Low-income senior apartments funded by HUD keep rent lower for people who qualify. Some veterans put VA pension payments toward the rent.
