Independent Living, Active Lifestyle Communities & Retirement Homes
What is an Independent Senior Living Community?
Independent Living Communities are housing environments designed exclusively for seniors, typically those aged 55 and older. Housing types vary from apartment style living to free standing homes, and may or may not provide hospitality or supportive services. Under this living arrangement, the senior adult leads an independent lifestyle that requires minimal or no extra assistance. This housing is typically friendlier to older adults, often being compact with easier navigation.
What Types of Amenities Can Be Found at an Independent Living Community for Seniors?
These communities generally have central dining facilities that provide residents, as part of their monthly fee, access to meals and other services such as housekeeping, linen service, transportation, and social and recreational activities Such properties do not provide, in a majority of the units, assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) such as supervision of medication, bathing, dressing, toileting, etc. There are no licensed skilled nursing beds in the property.
