Independent Retirement Communities

Overview

Designed for active, healthy seniors, Independent Retirement Communities
offer seniors a social, communal lifestyle with plenty to do. Seniors can choose from a range of private residence options, from one- or two-bedroom houses to condos, townhouses and apartments in an array of styles. Housing is integrated with activity centers, much like a college campus or cruise ship. Independent Retirement Communities focus on delivering a positive senior lifestyle.

What to expect

Independent Retirement Communities often have a country-club feel. You may find swimming pools, spas, social clubs, exercise facilities, and walking or bike paths. Some even offer beauty care, reading rooms, chapels, golf, tennis and restaurants. Seniors are expected to care for their own healthcare needs, though limited health care may be provided. Seniors live privately and independently, but benefit from close proximity to social, leisure and educational opportunities.

Who is it ideal for?

Independent Retirement Communities appeal to seniors looking to trade traditional residences – and the maintenance they require – for increased social involvement and physical or mental stimulation. These communities are ideal for seniors without nearby family and friends, or a desire to branch out and enjoy a range of new experiences. Top
