Thus by considering the options, one should take the decision of shifting to a senior independent living facility so that the life there is simple easy and hassle free.

1. In old age, we are often faced with the prospect of making certain changes, especially in terms of living
and accommodation. Not all seniors require assistance but they do require their own space so that they
can peacefully and happily spend their golden years. As a way of meeting the needs of such seniors,
many independent senior living facilities have come up with improved infrastructure and methods that
seniors will not only lead a happy life but will enjoy their sense of freedom at the same time during their
stay in these facilities.

2. As the name implies, independent living is more about making life easier than giving up the
independence. Sometimes, acknowledging your limitations and accepting some assistance is a way to
become more independent. The key difference between independent living facilities and other housing
options is the level of assistance that is offered for daily living activities. Though senior independent
living facilities are aimed at older adults who need little or no assistance with activities of daily living,
many of the reputed facilities offer medical care or nursing staff.
With so much variety in services, it is important to think about which is most important to you now and
in the future. For example, if you value exercise, consider a community with an exercise area, pool, or
fitness classes. You may like cooking your meals now, but want the option of communal dining in the
future. When visiting a retirement home, retirement community, or other independent senior living
facility, consider these aspects:
 Talk to the residents who are already living in the facility. It is important to know the people
before you finally settle in as they can also give you advice and you can understand how well
they are living in the facility. No matter what type of independent living facility you consider,
you want to make sure you connect with peers and feel comfortable in the community. Also
sample the food if there is a community restaurant and spend time interacting with other
residents.
 Location is another consideration. There is no set size for an independent living community, so
it’s up to the preference for a smaller size community or a busier place with more people and
opportunities for socialization. Develop your network and see that you get medical help in case
of emergency.

3.  Examine the accessibility of the facility. Things like transportation, safety, vicinity of library,
college, medical facility, pet keeping, future adaptability of the housing unit, etc must be looked
upon while deciding on an independent facility.
 Find out whether there are sufficient amenities like coffee shops, game room or fitness center
available in the facility or perhaps there are some activities that you’ve never explored before.
Some independent living or retirement homes, partner with nearby universities to offer
academic classes and cultural events.
Thus by considering the options, one should take the decision of shifting to a senior independent living
facility so that the life there is simple easy and hassle free.
