What Is Independent Living?
Independent living is a living arrangement designed for older adults who want to live independently without worrying about daily chores and other responsibilities. Adults in independent living communities typically have a fully equipped private residence within a community of other older adults, complete with no hassle of home maintenance or chores.
Other amenities that adults might enjoy in an independent living community include chef-prepared meals, housekeeping, planned events and activities, and access to local transportation.
Independent living is all about being in control of your life and empowering individuals to live their lives on their own terms. At Somerby Franklin, our goal is to help you enjoy a life that’s rich and fulfilling.
