Independent Living communities can be excellent living environments for seniors who want to be social, supported, and happy in their retirement years. You can live in a community of like-minded people and enjoy your freedom and independence while receiving basic support if required.
If you’ve been exploring the idea of Independent Living but are unsure whether everyday life will suit your preferences and needs, learn more about the typical day of someone in Independent Living below:
Wake Up In a Comfortable Apartment
Moving into a senior living community means you’ll be able to enjoy comfortable apartment living. Many of the best Independent Living communities have studios and one- and two-bedroom apartments for their residents to call home.
After waking up in the comfort and privacy of your own apartment, you can use a private kitchenette and safety-equipped bathroom. Some apartments even have balconies and patios to enjoy at your leisure. In many cases, you’ll also be able to enjoy your apartment with a furry friend.
Enjoy Breakfast in a Shared Dining Room
After getting ready to start the day, you meander down to your chosen community’s shared dining space, where you’ll often get to enjoy a delicious breakfast prepared by talented culinary teams. Meals are normally served at the same time every day.
Most of the best Independent Living communities go the extra mile at meal times by preparing delicious meals with fresh and locally sourced ingredients. They also put time and effort into visual presentation. After breakfast, where you can be social with your friends, you can return to the shared dining space for lunch and dinner.
Participate in Fun Activities and Events
When Independent Living residents wish to get the most out of every day in their community, they can participate in the many fun activities and events their lifestyles director organizes. Most highly regarded senior living communities plan dozens of activities every month, such as exercise and fitness, arts and crafts, baking club, and games.
Whether you like playing Rummikub with your best friend or going swimming with your neighbors, you’ll find the ideal activity to suit your preferences.
Receive Help with Daily Activities
Being in an Independent Living community means you feel confident and comfortable living independently by yourself or with a loved one. However, that doesn’t mean you won’t have access to help. After all, the more help you receive in your community, the more free time you have for fun activities and hobbies.
How much support you receive can depend on the community you choose to call home. However, most respected communities offer housekeeping, a concierge service, a linen service, 24-hour security, and scheduled transportation.
