Independent living communities offer active seniors a maintenance-free lifestyle with amenities, social activities, and optional add-on services.
What to Expect
Typical services include:
- Fitness center and social activities
- Dining options and housekeeping
- Maintenance-free living
- Transportation and concierge services
Independent living has the least medical focus of senior care options. It's best for seniors who can manage daily activities independently and want community, activities, and optional services. Many communities are age-restricted (55+ or 62+).
Typical Costs
Independent living typically ranges from $2,000-$4,000 per month, often less than assisted living. Add-on services like housekeeping or meals may be billed a la carte.
