Senior Care Resources & News

Whether you are nearing retirement or you have recently retired, this chapter in life marks a significant milestone. One of the most rewarding aspects of retirement is the opportunity to spend more time discovering hobbies and interests that you didn’t have time to pursue when you had work and family commitments.

When maintaining your home or living alone starts to become overwhelming in retirement, it may be time to explore different senior living options. Maybe you’re interested in having extra personal assistance in your day-to-day life. Or perhaps you are looking to increase your social circle while minimizing home maintenance and yard work. Whatever you are seeking, there is a lot of peace of mind that comes from residing in a secure, amenity-rich community designed for seniors.

Independent living communities are senior housing options designed with active adults in mind. These communities can come in a variety of forms, usually private apartments or villas, and allow older adults to live independently within a residential community with like-minded neighbors.

Unlike assisted living communities that provide support for those who need help with activities of daily living, independent communities offer a range of amenities and services for active, older adults that make it easier and more enjoyable to live on their own.

The senior living umbrella encompasses a variety of care levels and lifestyle choices. While communities may offer similar amenities and conveniences for each lifestyle option, the overall services and care differ.
