 What is senior living?
 Senior living provides older adults housing and care that fit their specific 
needs. Also, activities are offered to keep the residents active and social in 
any way possible.
 Two options of senior living are important to keep in mind; Assisted living and 
independent living. Both of these living options provide activities that will 
allow them to socialize, but there are differences in how they work.
 Knowing the difference between the two will help you know what is the better 
option for you or a loved one is.
 Assisted living
 This type of senior living is directed towards older adults that need certain 
medical conditions cared for consistently by staff. These residents may need 
help with tasks such as grooming or eating.
 These facilities offer amenities to their residents, but assistance is needed 
more than it would be with residents in independent living.
 Independent living
 This type of senior living is meant for individuals who can be physically 
independent. These communities offer housing that fits their needs and 
activities.
 These communities offer more freedom, as they can manage to be on their 
own and in good health.
 Benefits of senior living communities
 So, you have decided that independent living is the best option for you.
 These communities are popular because of the many benefits that come with 
living in these communities.
 Freedom
 Living in an independent senior community offers you the freedom to 
participate in any hobbies or activities you wish.
 Staying independent is something many older adults strive for, regardless of 
their age. These communities give you the freedom and comfort you are 
looking for in your retirement.
 This amount of freedom is one of the main reasons older adults decide to 
move into a senior community.
 Amenities
 Staying active and social is important to maintain overall health.
 Here, we provide a variety of amenities that will make your retirement 
enjoyable and relaxing. These amenities include activities that you can take 
part in alone or with friends.
 Some of the amenities include:
• Game room
• Library
• Movie theater
• Craft room
 These activities can lead you to discover new hobbies and make new friends. 
Whether you are looking for a relaxing activity or one that keeps you moving, 
there are many options to choose from!
 In addition to the many activities you can participate in, we also have more 
necessary amenities you may need, such as a salon and mailroom.
 Having these amenities conveniently in your community makes going about 
your activities and errands much easier.
 Location
 These communities are private, which makes living in the community more 
peaceful and comfortable than it would be living in a neighborhood.
 Being able to not only take part in activities amongst your senior community 
but outside of it is something you can do.
 Our communities are near outside communities, which is perfect if you are 
looking to go out and spend the day sightseeing or out to eat with friends.
 Having the ability to be independent outside our community is important to 
us for you to have.
 Low maintenance apartments
 Many people choose to move into these senior communities because keeping 
up with taking care of their house can become a difficult task.
 The apartments are not only much easier to take care of, but they come with 
the necessities you had in your home as well.
 Here are just one of our many community locations currently under 
construction that will have these comfortable and low-maintenance 
apartments.
 Friends and socialization
 Loneliness is an experience unfortunately common amongst older adults. 
Many older adults, unfortunately, become less social.
 One-third of adults 45 and older feel lonely, and this loneliness and social 
isolation can lead to many health risks.
 Independent living communities provide the opportunity to socialize and 
make new friends. Activities bring residents together and give them the 
chance to find people they would enjoy spending time with.
 These communities give residents a sense of importance, as they do not feel 
lonely and are surrounded by people.
 Security
 As you get older, living alone can be stressful, as incidents could occur at any 
moment.
 In these communities, safety is the biggest priority. There are many safety 
and security measures taken to keep the residents safe.
 Residents in these communities can feel secure and not worry about their 
safety.
 Spending time with family independently
 In nursing homes and other facilities, it may be more difficult for residents to 
see loved ones for a long period of time.
 While independent living allows residents to see loved ones for a longer 
period of time, this makes it easier to celebrate holidays together, sit down 
and enjoy a meal, or just spend quality time together.
 Assistance when needed
 While these living communities offer much freedom, there may be times 
where assistance is required.
 Our staff is always prepared and ready to help you if you ever need help with 
anything. After all, we are here to provide our residents with the utmost 
safety and comfort.
