Many people confuse assisted living communities and nursing homes for independent senior living communities. According to USNews.com, senior living communities can seem ambiguous until you visit one and see all they have to offer.
Independent living communities were designed for active seniors who need very little assistance. Living options may include apartments, townhomes, and villas. While there are medical professionals on-site, they are usually for emergencies.
Typical Amenities Found In Independent Living Communities:
Most Independent living communities are home to those that are at least 55+ years of age. Most residents are active, may still have jobs, and have active social lives. That is why most of these communities are filled with fun activities. Yet, residents don’t have the mundane upkeep that would be required if they lived in their own homes.
Healthy seniors should have the freedom to come and go without restrictions, and maintain a busy social life, but have the convenience of housekeeping, prepared meals in the restaurants and dining room, and transportation for those that no longer wish to drive.
Independent living communities make seniors’ lives easier and give them more time to dedicate to the things they enjoy. There are so many activities that many get tired of trying to do everything. Art and craft classes, music, movies, and resident groups enable those with similar interests to enjoy time together. There are usually veterans’ groups, bingo and game groups, and golf groups that gather every week. Many have potluck dinners, football gatherings, and happy hours.
To make things even easier for those seniors who prefer to stay around the community, there is usually a bank, salon, convenience store, and exercise room with scheduled classes. Many feel that they experience resort-style living within their private community. These amenities are hardly the limit.
Ability to Age in Place
Those who choose to live in an independent living facility find comfort in knowing they can remain in their current home should their health start to deteriorate. Some even have memory care facilities for those who may begin to suffer from Alzheimer’s or dementia. It is a great comfort to many knowing that they can stay in their current home and get the care they require without having to move to a different location.
