Independent Living FAQ
What’s “independent living”?
Independent living is a term that describes a senior living lifestyle for retired adults who want the conveniences of community life without the burdens of homeownership. Seniors who are tired of home maintenance and repairs, yardwork and housekeeping can relax and focus on the things they would rather do. In our 55+ resort-inspired community, we offer all the comforts of home, as well as services, amenities and activities that bring socialization, learning and fun into each day. We offer chef-prepared meals in restaurant-style dining rooms. And for seniors whose families worry about their safety, we have security and health services staff on duty 24/7.
I’m active and healthy. Why should I move?
No one likes to talk about it, but with age, our health can change at any time. It’s wise to plan ahead for that possibility and make a decision about where to live while you’re in control. Moving in while you’re active and independent means you can enjoy all the perks our community offers without the burdens of traditional home ownership. If you or a loved one ever needs health care, you won’t have to move elsewhere as a full continuum of care is on campus, including emergency services 24/7. You’ll have peace of mind knowing everything is in place if you need it.
What do I do about my pet?
Bring your pet! We welcome dogs, cats and other animal companions according to our pet-friendly policy. After all, pets are family too!
