Understanding Independent Living

Independent living is a type of housing exclusively designed for seniors aged 55 and over. Depending on each individual’s unique needs, it is categorized into different floor plan options ranging from studio to one-, two-, or three-bedroom apartments and single-family detached homes.

This type of senior accommodation aims to house and provide amenities for seniors who require no assistance in their daily lives. In an independent living community, seniors can live independently while enjoying a luxurious lifestyle in a secluded villa alongside more chances to make new friends and stay socially connected through social outings and community activities right on site.
