For those who desire to live primarily without personal assistance but would like the advantage of having daily tasks and responsibilities handled by professionalls, an Independent Living Community might be the perfect option. Occupants can continue to use their free time as they desire while their meals are prepared by a professionall chef, housekeeping and laundry duties are taken care of by staff, and social activities are scheduled and organized. Along with their daily needs being met, residents can enjoy the opportunity to be among peers, surrounded by others of similar age groups and interests. Residents’ quarters consist of a private living space with their own kitchen. The independence of apartment life is still enjoyed, offering opportunities to entertain guests and visitors in a private and personal setting. While policies differ between communities, many residences allow cats and dogs as well. If medical or nursing care is desired, residents may always utilize the services of independent health care professionalls. There are a variety of costs and advantages to keep in mind when choosing an independent living community. It is important to figure out if these amenities are included in the care plan: Waiting list deposit, transportation, parking, laundry, housekeeping, wellness program, initial assessment fee, and cable TV. The conveniences associated with independent living include laundry service, transportation, beauty salon & barber shop, concierge services, security guards, fitness center & swimming pool, healthcare center, and restaurant-style dining hall.
