Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, many Independent Living communities welcome pets, though policies vary by community. Guidelines typically address pet type, breed, size, and care requirements. We encourage you to contact your preferred community directly to confirm their specific pet policy before making plans.
No, Independent Living is not the same as Assisted Living. In Independent Living, residents require no supervision or assistance and primarily benefit from the friendly community, maintenance, and amenities offered. In Assisted Living, residents are independent but receive some assistance with activities of daily living, like bathing, dressing, and grooming. The right fit depends on the resident’s current and anticipated care needs.
Independent Living offers maintenance-free, apartment-style or cottage living for older adults who want freedom, convenience, and access to amenities, without the responsibilities of homeownership.
Independent Living suits adults who live autonomously and want a maintenance-free lifestyle with amenities and community. Assisted Living adds personalized support with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and grooming. Memory Care provides 24-hour supervision and structured assistance for individuals living with Alzheimer’s, dementia, or progressive memory conditions. Each level is designed to meet distinct care needs.
