Hillcrest Elderly Apartments is a public housing apartment building for older adults in Troy, Pennsylvania. It is run by the Tioga and Bradford County Housing Authority. Rent is based on your income and who lives with you, and it is due on the first day of each month. You can pay by check or money order, or set up a direct debit from your bank account. For this building, the security deposit is one month's rent. Every tenant can use the community room for reading, watching television, and visiting, and tenants can reserve it for group activities. There is a laundry room for tenants, with a small fee for the washers and dryers and a coin change machine on site. Each building has its own tenant organization, and the Authority holds regular fire and safety meetings in its elderly buildings. Guests can stay overnight two nights a month, and longer stays need written approval from the management office.

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.
