Independent Living

Independent living is just one choice from a variety of senior housing options. The key difference between independent living and other housing options is overall health and assistance in daily living activities. Just as with regular housing, you can hire in-home help to assist. However, if you or a loved one requires round-the-clock help with eating, dressing, and using the toilet, or requires regular medical assistance, other housing options such as assisted living or nursing homes may be a better fit.

There are many types of independent living communities, from apartment complexes to separate houses. They come in a range of costs, including subsidized housing for low income older adults.

Continuing care retirement communities provide independent living as well as other housing with more services at the same community.
