Frequently Asked Questions

Independent living is designed for active adults 55 and up who are self-sufficient, but want to live in a community with amenities and services that compliment their lifestyle.

It differs from assisted living, which provides more comprehensive care and support.

Most Independent Living communities are designed for seniors, typically those aged 55 and older. The age requirements can vary, so it’s important to check with the specific communities you are interested in.

The costs for independent living vary based on location, amenities, and services.

Traditional insurance and Medicare generally do not cover these costs, as they are lifestyle choices rather than medical necessities.

While independent living focuses on self-sufficiency, our communities offer access to 24/7 licensed nurses on-site and an assisted living lifestyle, so our residents can age in place and receive care if their needs change.
