Independent Living

Is independent living right for your loved one?

Independent living is for older adults who can still manage their own day-to-day lives but want an easier, more social way to live. Instead of keeping up a house, yard and repairs, residents have a private apartment or cottage in a community where meals, housekeeping, activities and neighbors are close at hand.

It is often a good fit when a parent is lonely at home, finding the upkeep of a house tiring, or simply ready for a simpler lifestyle while they are still healthy and active.

What communities typically offer

• Private apartments or cottages with no home maintenance
• Dining options, so cooking every meal is a choice, not a chore
• Social events, outings, fitness classes and clubs
• Housekeeping, transportation and on-site amenities
• The option, in many communities, to add care services later as needs change

How we help

Every community looks good in a brochure. We start by listening — to your loved one's personality, interests, budget and where the family would like them to be — and then narrow the options down to the communities that genuinely fit. We help you arrange tours, know which questions to ask, and stay with you through move-in day.

Our service is free to families. Communities compensate us when a resident moves in, so you never pay for our guidance.
