Independent Living offers active seniors a maintenance-free lifestyle with social opportunities, while Assisted Living provides personalized support with daily tasks, transfers, bathing, dining, etc., in a comfortable, community-focused setting tailored to each resident’s unique needs.
When choosing a retirement residence with Independent Living consider the quality of social activities, the level of care, cost, location, dining and meal quality and flexibility and the type of community atmosphere. Additionally, consider qualified staff with appropriate ratios, flexible visitor policies, and honest insights from current residents and reviews.
In Independent Living at Aspira seniors live in a community of their peers, usually in individual suites. Residents maintain their independence and have access to shared amenities, community activities, and meals. Optional services like housekeeping and laundry are available.
Independent Living and Seniors' Apartments are both attractive senior living options offering independence to retirees, but they do have some differences. Independent Living is like a large, friendly neighborhood for seniors who can take care of themselves. Included in the monthly fees are meals, fitness and recreational activities, and handy services like housekeeping. Plus, there's always someone on hand if you need urgent help.
Seniors’ Apartments offer even more independence but all the comforts of independent living. Meals and optional services would be an additional fee in Seniors’ Apartments.
