Independent Living
Independent Living Communities provide individuals with a convenient harmony between an independent lifestyle and not having to worry about the basic tasks of housekeeping and responsibilities. Basic chores such as meal preparation and housekeeping are handled by staff and a calendar of recreational and leisure activities is maintained, allowing residents an opportunity to use their time as they wish, free from daily responsibilities. Along with their daily needs being met, residents can enjoy the opportunity to live among peers, in a community with others of similar ages and backgrounds. Typically comprised of a private living area and a full kitchen, these communities offer homes with many of the amenities of apartment life but without the hassle. Guests can be invited over and entertained, and more time can be spent with them with the basic maintenance of daily chores out of the way. While policies differ between locations, many residences allow cats and dogs as well. If medical or nursing support is desired, residents may always enlist the services of independent care providers. There are an assortment of advantages and expenses to balance when deciding on an independent living community. It is important to figure out if these services are included in your plan: cable TV, internet access, move-in fee, private phone, initial assessment fee, housekeeping, Waiting list deposit, and wellness program. The benefits and amenities that pertain to independent living include game/TV room, security guards, transportation, fitness center & swimming pool, community activities, private rental hall, healthcare center, and laundry service.
