I certainly hope so. In my more than 2 month search for independent senior living, I have filled out several application forms and was getting close to being accepted in a beautiful suburb, but it was not in our specific area where our doctors and family are located. I found the amenities we needed were not always available and dogs were allowed, as well as smoking (outdoors). A regular apartment was too expensive and not 55+ residents, with a pool and workout facilities. I just could not imagine living in that kind of environment and knew we needed more privacy and quiet. We were just about ready to accept the Senior independent living apartment when we got a call from another owner I had requested information from. Everything from the rent to amenities fit our list perfectly, and arrangements were made to move in online and with Zelle at our bank. We have a one year lease and we will find out if this apartment will work for us.

@janet7, I hope this works out for you but be careful of scams. Scammers feed off seniors (or others) desperate to find houseing and willing to to rent sight unseen and pay ahead of time via online banking.

For reference to anyone looking to rent, here is good article about how to avoid scams.
