Is Independent Senior Living Right for Your Loved One? Are you wondering whether independent senior living is the right choice for your loved one? When considering the move to an independent living facility, it’s important to consider both the living environment and your loved one’s ability to care for themselves. What Is an Independent Living Facility? Despite some people using the terms interchangeably, there is a difference between independent living and assisted living facilities. For seniors to live independently, they must be healthy, active, and able to take care of themselves. In contrast, assisted living facilities are for seniors who require more comprehensive care with their activities of daily living. Many seniors also enjoy moving into an independent living community because it places them close to others around their age, allowing them to socialize, branch out, and make new friends. For seniors, living alone can be a lonely existence.
