Independent Living Community

AARP - Can You Afford Senior Living Housing?

"The senior living community recruitment drive floods retiree mailboxes with glossy pamphlets showing spacious apartments, fancy dining rooms, gyms and swimming pools. It looks great – but look before you leap."

Senior Planet from AARP

"The choices abound, but how do those of us nearing retirement cut through the chatter choose a senior living community that works for us. And probably most important of all, what happens if you run out of money?"

Check out this July 2024 article from AARP by Rodney A. Brooks for some important questions to research before making the leap. Do the research!

What Are the Differences Between Independent and Senior Living?

Discover the nuances of independent and senior living, exploring their features, services and lifestyles. Uncover the perfect fit for your golden years.

"For older adults, living independently – remaining in their own homes and taking care of themselves – for as long as possible is typically the goal.

But for many seniors, there comes a time when they need help with various tasks of daily living or would prefer to have more company. That's when "living independently" can shift to "independent living," a distinction that indicates a move to a senior living community."

This July 2023 article from U.S. News and World Report helps to bring some clarity to the transition from living independently to independent living.

Not all senior living communities are the same – and the term "senior living" itself is broad.

"Senior living is kind of an umbrella, more of an overarching term that incorporates the aspects of independent living, assisted living and memory care primarily," says Kevin Bowman, former executive vice president of community operations at Brookdale Senior Living, the largest senior living provider in the U.S.
