Independent Communities
Independent living differs in medical services offered depending
on where you live. Occupants generally require no extra assistance
with daily tasks. Independent housing includes everything from
houses to town houses to apartments. The only determining factor
that makes it different from other housing without medical services
is the elderly residents don’t require help. If independent
living is a part of an established pay community such as in the
case of a CCRC, the services offered to the dependent population
are the same ones offered to the independent population if they
choose to use them.
