For many seniors, cost of owning a home might deter them from an independent life. Independent Living Communities provide a good remedy to this situation. You or your loved one can live their lives as they see fit while their meals are cooked by a professionall chef, housekeeping and laundry duties are taken care of by staff, and recreational activities are scheduled and organized. Along with their daily needs being met, residents can enjoy the opportunity to be among peers, in a community with others of similar ages 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 vary between locations, a number of residences allow cats and dogs as well. Nursing and health care services may always be arranged for with independent care providers if desired. There are a variety of costs and benefits to balance when determining an independent living community. It is important to figure out if these services are included in your care plan: private phone, transportation, initial assessment fee, housekeeping, move-in fee, wellness program, cable TV, and internet access. The luxuries that pertain to independent living include fitness center & swimming pool, community activities, healthcare center, laundry service, beauty salon & barber shop, golf course, concierge services, and game/TV room.
