Moving to a retirement community can be difficult for a senior. Understanding available care choices is important for the success of the move. While the benefits of moving are many, it is important to make sure the community fits your needs to ensure a smooth transition.
Independent living offers active seniors the freedom and choice they currently have without the responsibility of the maintenance and upkeep of renting or owning a home. These communities offer spacious apartments and an abundance of activities to participate in.
Independent living communities encourage social interaction and offer a wide variety of lifestyle amenities and services, including recreational activities, on-site chapel services, restaurant-style dining, community outings and cleaning and laundry services.
Some of the issues when comparing independent living communities:
- Buy-In or Long-Term Fees?
- Month-to-Month Rent?
- Priority Admission to Assisted Living Community?
- Utilities Paid?
- Restaurant-Style Dining?
- Pets Welcome?
- Garages?
- Spacious Floor Plans?
- Fitness Centers, Indoor Pool, Theater Rooms, Billiards and Card Rooms, Library?
- Salon Services?
- Housekeeping and Laundry Services?
- Transportation if needed?
