What is Independent Living?
Independent Living is designed for seniors who require, or need, little to no support. Maybe you’ve heard of Independent Living referred to as a Retirement Community. The type of housing comes in many forms, ranging from condos, apartment complexes, and even free-standing homes. Independent Living has the social benefits of living in a community, and depending on the facility, may over features like, a common dining hall, game rooms, libraries, transportation services, etc. Think of Independent Living as an age-restricted living complex, typically restricted to ages 55+.
How do I know if Independent Living is right for me?
Determining if Independent Living is right for you may not be an easy question to answer. It’s important to consider several factors when answering this question. We’ve provided a few questions below that can help.
- Are you able, and comfortable with, managing and carrying out daily activities (for example, cooking, cleaning, medication coordination, etc.)?
- Does the ideal of living in a community with other independent seniors appeal to you?
- Are you looking for more social opportunities?
- Has the cost of living in your current situation become a burden that is difficult to bear?
If the answer is yes to any of the questions above, then it might be time to explore Independent Living options. Please remember, some communities may offer meals, cleaning services, and other amenities as options, even if you don’t require the service.
How do I choose the right Independent Living Community?
Independent Living communities come in a variety of options. It is important that the options you consider match the criteria that’s important to you. Some of the factors that should be considered include:
- Location
- Cost
- Amenities Desired
- Preferred Living Arrangement
- Culture of the Community
- Specific Needs of the Senior
Safe Solutions Senior Placement will partner with you to work through each of these factors to ensure you find the right match for your needs.
