Civic Towers Senior is the senior building of Civic Towers, an affordable housing community in Miami described by its developer, Redwood Housing. Built in the 1980s, the two buildings were renovated in 2019 with a new facade and windows, new roofs, updated life safety and security systems, modernized elevators, and fully renovated common areas and apartments. Redwood says the community today provides high-quality affordable housing to families and seniors in Miami. The renovation continued even after Hurricane Irma badly damaged the buildings during the work.

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.
