For those who would like to live primarily without assistance but would like the convenience of having daily tasks and responsibilities handled by professionalls, an Independent Living Community may be the perfect fit. Basic needs such as meal preparation and housekeeping are handled by staff and a calendar of recreational and social activities is provided, allowing residents the autonomy to use their time as they see fit, free from daily responsibilities. Along with their daily needs being met, residents can enjoy an opportunity to be among peers, in a community with others of similar age groups and interests. Typically consisting of a private living area and a full kitchen, these communities offer homes with many of the amenities of apartment life but with none of 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, a number of residences allow pets as well. Nursing and health care services can always be arranged for with independent care providers as desired. There are a number of expenditures and advantages to keep in mind while deciding on an independent living community. It is important to figure out if these amenities are covered in the plan: move-in fee, utilities, laundry, cable TV, housekeeping, wellness program, Waiting list deposit, and parking. The benefits and amenities associated with independent living include private rental hall, community activities, transportation, beauty salon & barber shop, laundry service, game/TV room, fitness center & swimming pool, and restaurant-style dining hall.
