Independent Communities

Independent living differs in medical services offered depending on where you live. Occupants generally require no extra assistance with daily tasks. Independent housing includes everything from houses to town houses to apartments. The only determining factor that makes it different from other housing without medical services is the elderly residents don’t require help. If independent living is a part of an established pay community such as in the case of a CCRC, the services offered to the dependent population are the same ones offered to the independent population if they choose to use them.
