After we speak with you, we’ll get to work finding a thriving independent living community with all the bells and whistles. Find out if independent living is right for your loved one.
What Is Independent Living?
Independent living communities, or retirement communities, are organized specially for elderly folks. While homes for independent living allow seniors to go about their lives as usual, this living situation also offers on-demand help whenever necessary. Plus, residents have plenty of opportunities to socialize with their neighbors and, hopefully, make new friends along the way.
Which Community Amenities Are Important to You?
Independent assisted living communities each come with unique amenities. As you narrow down your options, it’s crucial to identify which amenities are important to you or your loved one. Some seniors prefer an assisted Living community with lots of outdoor space and walking trails, while others might want a community that focuses on indoor activities. Whatever the case for you, Helping Hands for Seniors can help find the ideal community with all the essential amenities. Some common features that top seniors’ wish lists include:
- Housekeeping and maintenance
- Emergency assistance
- Transportation to and from appointments
- Restaurant-style dining
- Recreational facilities (ex. gym, pool, walking trails)
