Independent living is any housing arrangement designed exclusively for seniors, generally those aged 55 and over. The way the housing is designed usually allows for easier navigation due to its compact size, making everything much more accessible. Housing varies widely, from apartment-style living to freestanding homes. Independent living communities enable elderly people and seniors a chance to live independently but still have care available to them at all times if they need it. Independent living facilities take away some of the burden of caring for a large home and yard and allow seniors a chance to stay independent longer.
