More about this provider
| HumanGood's own community page presents Morrisville Presbyterian Apartments as a low-income senior housing community: eligibility requires at least one applicant to be at least 62 years old at application, occupancy is limited to two persons per bedroom, and because demand for low-income senior affordable housing far exceeds availability, the community maintains a waiting list and distributes applications only when the waiting list is open. | |
| Services and programs | Low-income senior affordable housing; a waiting list is maintained to track interest and make apartments available as they become vacant; applications may be obtained at the community or downloaded from the page, and are distributed only when the waiting list is open (as stated on the opened HumanGood page) |
| Who it serves | Low-income seniors: 'To be eligible for an apartment in our community, at least one of the applicants must be at least 62 years old at the time of application. Occupancy is limited to a maximum of two persons per bedroom.' (as stated on the opened HumanGood page) |

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.
