Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of Independent Living?
Independent living offers a maintenance-free lifestyle with a strong sense of community, allowing seniors to focus on their retirement goals and activities they love, without the stresses of everyday life.
What makes Independent Living different from other senior living options?
Independent living is designed for seniors who are self-sufficient but want to live in a community setting with amenities and services that enhance their lifestyle. It differs from Assisted Living or nursing homes, which provide more comprehensive care and support.
Are there any age restrictions for Independent Living communities?
Most independent living communities are designed for seniors, typically those aged 55 and older. However, age requirements can vary, so it’s important to check with specific communities.
What costs are associated with Independent Living and is it covered by insurance?
Costs for independent living vary based on location, amenities, and services. These costs are generally not covered by traditional insurance or Medicare, as they are lifestyle choices rather than medical necessities.
Can residents in Independent Living receive additional care if needed?
While Independent living focuses on self-sufficiency, our communities offer access to 24/7 licensed nurses on-site and our assisted living program to ensure residents can age in place and receive care if their needs change.
