INDEPENDENT LIVING

What is Independent Living?

Independent living, also known as residential living, allows seniors to maintain their current lifestyle in a private apartment or cottage home without significant care needs. These communities offer a range of first-class amenities and endless opportunities for social connection, well-being, and security.

Key Features of Independent Living:

• All-Inclusive Living: Home maintenance, landscaping, and housekeeping are taken care of, allowing residents to focus on what they love.

• Flexible Dining Plans: Residents have the option to cook or enjoy community dining, offering convenience and variety.

• Social and Recreational Activities: From fitness classes to social gatherings and excursions, there's always something happening to keep residents engaged and active.

• Enhanced Quality of Life: Access to amenities such as fitness centers, social events, and transportation services contributes to a fulfilling lifestyle.

Who is Independent Living For?

Independent living is ideal for active adults who seek to minimize household responsibilities and maximize their free time. It's perfect for those who enjoy a vibrant social environment, delicious dining options, and easy access to wellness resources. Residents can engage in various community events, classes, and excursions, making every day an opportunity for new experiences.

Independent living communities provide a home-like environment where residents can enjoy a fun-filled, active lifestyle. It's an excellent option for seniors looking to downsize their home and focus more on socializing and personal interests, all while maintaining their independence.

The Not-for-Profit Advantage:

Choosing a not-for-profit organization ensures that the primary purpose is to meet community needs, not to generate profit for shareholders. Here are key reasons why our members stand out:

• Community Focus: Any profits generated are reinvested to enhance services.

• Governance: These organizations are governed by volunteer boards committed to serving the community.

• Quality of Care: Not-for-profit providers often exceed regulatory requirements, focusing on personalized care, increased staffing, and higher wages for care staff.
