If you want the peace of mind of having many of your frequent tasks handled by professionalls while living life the way you want, you might want to consider an Independent Living Community. Basic needs such as meal preparation and housekeeping are handled by staff and a calendar of recreational and leisure activities is provided, allowing residents an opportunity to use their time as they choose, free from daily responsibilities. Along with their daily needs being met, residents can enjoy the opportunity to live among peers, in a community with others of similar ages and backgrounds. Typically comprised of a private living space and a full kitchen, these communities offer residences with many of the amenities of apartment life but without the hassle. Guests can be invited over and entertained, and more time can be spent with them with the basic maintenance of daily chores out of the way. While policies differ between locations, numerous residences allow pets as well. Nursing and health care services may always be arranged for with private care providers if desired. There are a number of advantages and expenses to keep in mind while determining an independent living community. It is important to learn if these services are included in the plan: housekeeping, initial assessment fee, internet access, wellness program, cable TV, parking, private phone, and transportation. The luxuries that pertain to independent living include beauty salon & barber shop, game/TV room, transportation, concierge services, golf course, healthcare center, security guards, and laundry service.
