Finding affordable independent senior living for low income parent?

Long story short, after all factors considered, senior independent living in a facility would be best for my mom. She doesn't need assisted living or nursing home services and is pretty much independent. The problem is she doesn't have enough to pay private pay for more than a couple years. Is there anyway to get around this affordability problem because nobody seems to have any answers to the affordability problem for someone who doesn't needed AL but doesn't have enough money to pay out of pocket for the independent senior living. Thanks.

Look for senior housing, not senior independent living, two very different situations.

55+ communities with activities is what it sounds like you are looking for. These come as trailer courts, apartment buildings, more expensive ones have brick and mortar homes.

That would be the 1st place I would check. 55+ communities

Most communities have Senior Living apartments. My mother was able to move into a very nice one five invites down the road from her original home. Her rent was income based. She paid 30% of her total income. The apartment was very nice. The residents were offered crafting, bingo and occasional day bus trips. Perhaps a call to your local Area Agency on Aging could provide you with a guide.
