Independent Living
Independent living is generally designed for older adults who can manage daily life without ongoing personal care but want a community setting, amenities or fewer household responsibilities.
What to consider
Start with the person’s needs, preferences, location, budget and timing. Ask providers for current details and compare the same questions across options.
Questions to ask
- What services are included?
- What additional fees can apply?
- How are care needs assessed?
- What staffing and support are available?
- How often are prices, services and policies updated?
