Is Independent Living right for me or my loved one?

Independent Living is ideal for seniors who: are healthy and able to care for themselves; want to live independently; desire the security to be found in a seniors-only community; no longer want to maintain a house; prefer to live among their peers; can communicate with doctors and caregivers by themselves, or with the help of family or friends, but without the help of trained, onsite staff; have enough money to pay for the kind of home they are looking for, or else can be satisfied with subsidized housing.
If a senior needs occasional personal or medical care, they will be able to bring in health care providers from outside the community or call for assisted living services from within the community, where available.
