What makes these community living centers worse, is that the income-qualified seniors frequently underestimate the true cost of living there, at least initially. When some of these seniors did additional homework, many revised their estimates upwards. The results were a more favorable comparison between the income-qualified senior's current cost of living with today's rise in higher service fees for independent community living centers.

While prevailing wisdom offered hints that this perceived cost gap might not be that significant, there was no significant quantitative evidence regarding these comparative costs of living. The American Senior Housing Association (ASHA) recently hired Moore Diversified Services to investigate this important issue.
