Owning and living in your dream home can require a lot of time and effort, especially when you need to conduct frequent maintenance on your electrical appliances and indoor and outdoor areas of your home. While these responsibilities usually don’t pose a challenge for most people, older adults may face difficulties otherwise. If your loved one has a current physical disability or financial troubles which can hinder their capability to live alone, you can seek professional help to help resolve your family member’s problems. Here’s what you need to understand regarding
independent living.

What Is Independent Living?

Independent living communities allow your aging family members to indulge in their favorite activities or hobbies, without worrying about the responsibilities of home maintenance. In the United States, 11 percent of almost two million senior living communities are apportioned to independent living. The occupancy rates and construction for independent living communities have also generally seen a steady increase over the years.

As compared with other accommodations, independent living programs endorse freedom and self-reliance the most for your loved ones. Occupants within the community can take care of themselves without problems as the name suggests.

Types of Independent Living

There are various independent housing options for your aging loved one catered towards their required needs and choice of living. One is the continuous care retirement community where older adults can relish using amenities provided within the community and the access to the necessary aging services. The continuous care retirement community normally provides three levels of care, being assisted living, professional nursing care, and independent living. Most of such communities are constructed for older adults who are currently self-reliant but want the assurance of being able to get the required assistance as they age. Many also provide programs even for those with a memory condition. If your loved one has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and requires trusted memory care, ourSHINE® Memory Care program can help. At Lakeside At Mallard Landing, we will provide compassionate and comprehensive care by our team members who have experience and training in caring for aged adults with dementia. If you have a family member suffering from dementia, do consider contacting us.

There are several benefits from living in continuing care retirement communities and are as follows:

Comprehensive medical care
Leading an active lifestyle
Great nutrition
Improved overall wellness

Another option is the senior housing apartments which are typically smaller than that of the continuous care retirement community. These apartments also can provide on-site amenities and services, perfect for those who don’t want to or can’t manage home maintenance.
