Independent Living: what you're actually buying
Independent living is for active seniors who don't need daily care but want to trade home maintenance for dining, activities, and community.
Pure independent living is a housing product, not a licensed care setting, though many communities sit on a campus that also offers a DHSR-licensed Adult Care Home level of assisted living or a Special Care Unit for memory care. A typical monthly range is $2,400 to $4,000 a month.
When you visit, look past the lobby and check these:
- what care is available on-site if needs change later
- whether meals, transportation, and activities are included or à la carte
- the kind of contract and any entrance or community fee
