Benefits of an Independent Living Community

Independent living communities are a great option post retirement. These facilities are designed for seniors who are still very healthy and can take care of their day to day tasks without assistance or constant monitoring. Independent living facilities allow seniors to make their own schedule as well as participate in community events as they please.

Benefits of independent living communities include:

• Residents are not responsible for maintenance including indoor, outdoor and common areas. Seniors can spend their time doing more enjoyable things than fixing problems around their home.
• Planned activities and events allow residents to socialize with other seniors.
• Many facilities provide an all-inclusive rent, with tv, internet, phone, heat, electric and water included. This saves seniors the worry of having to watch or pay the bills.
• Most independent living facilities offer great amenities like fitness centers, wellness programs, spas, pools and gyms. Having all these offerings available in one place makes it easier to enjoy them.
• While communities don’t offer care, if a resident needs emergency assistance, it is always close by. These communities give family the peace of mind that their loved one is safer than at home by themselves.
