I am leaving my husband and want to live in senior apartment living alone. I am still working.

since you are married, they figure both incomes. Get a legal separation if you want your income only.

Is this a duplicate question from yesterday? I could have sworn that I saw this and I recall that it had another response. I also posted that I would consult with a Divorce attorney to find out what your rights and obligations are by virtue of your marriage. They may also provide other information about your separation issue. I'd get that information before making any moves, as it could have financial and legal implications.
