Independent living offers a stress-free lifestyle for older adults. Independent living communities don’t provide personal care or supervision, but do offer generally healthy adults opportunities for socialization and hassle-free living. Independent living services often include:
Independent living communities – also known simply as retirement communities – in Dallas, Texas are geared towards seniors who are able to live on their own, without daily assistance, and prefer to live among people their age.
