Assisted Living and Senior Independent Living Explained


Many people are unsure of the meaning of terms such as “independent living” and “assisted living” used by many senior communities.  Or which would be best suited for their needs.  To clarify, the term independent living is used to describe a community that is designed specifically for seniors who want to and are able to live without any help.  Assisted living is designed for seniors who still wish to live independently with personal privacy and autonomy, but require a helping hand with daily activities.   

Independent living is ideal for individuals who no longer wish to maintain their own home and desire a more carefree lifestyle.  While each community can vary, many offer daily meals, transportation, and a range of other amenities and social activities.  Senior independent communities offer residents the freedom to enjoy their retirement years without being tied down with yardwork and other routine chores that need to be done when owning a home. 

At assisted living communities, residents get help with daily personal care and are provided with an array of services such as housekeeping, laundry, transportation, daily meals, and 24-hour supervision.  Generally a community assesses in-coming residents to determine the level of assistance needed that is agreeable to the senior and their extended family.  Other amenities offered by assisted living communities include a range of activities and wellness programs.
