A Day in the Life Of An Independent Living Resident
Any change in living situation can be daunting, especially when you don’t know what to expect. You may not want to give up the familiarity of your home environment for somewhere new, even if you can greatly benefit from the move.
However, if you knew what to expect before transitioning, you may make your decision with more confidence. While every community is different, you can learn about an average day in the life of an Independent Living resident below:
Wake Up in Comfort
Waking up in comfort is definitely one of the highlights of moving into a highly-regarded Independent Living community. Most standout communities offer comfortable apartments for their residents to call home.
Their size and style can vary from community to community. However, many of the best have one- and two-bedroom apartments with kitchens, safety-equipped bathrooms, and living and dining areas. Some even have washer and dryer units for convenience. These apartments are private and comfortable for residents to enjoy at their leisure.
Eat Restaurant-Quality Meals
While most Independent Living residents are capable of cooking for themselves, that doesn’t always mean they have to. Many standout communities have an on-site culinary team to prepare meals. How meal times look can vary from one community to the next.
Some offer multiple meals per week or daily meals. They can also have open dining hours and provide a fixed number of meals every month. If residents don’t feel like dining in shared dining spaces with their peers, they can cook their own meals and snacks in their in-unit kitchens or dine out in their local community.
Receive Helpful Services
Most Independent Living residents can live comfortably and happily in their own homes without help. However, that doesn’t mean they couldn’t benefit from extra support from time to time. Moving into an Independent Living community often means you can access helpful services to help you get the most out of every day.
Many leading Independent Living communities provide a range of convenient services, such as apartment repairs and maintenance, housekeeping, scheduled transport, landscaping, and emergency response systems. You may also be able to enlist the services of third-party providers if you require additional help.
Participate in Fun Activities
Most Independent Living communities want to ensure their residents are making friends and having fun. That’s why they plan fun activities and events for residents to participate in. There usually are plenty of activities to choose from, like board games and card games, faith services, book club, men’s club, crochet and kitting, and movies.
Socialize in Shared Spaces
Alongside being able to enjoy fun activities in your chosen Independent Living community, you can also often spend your free time in communal spaces by yourself or with other residents. The type of communal areas available can vary from one community to the next. However, many have game rooms, activity rooms, clubrooms, and theaters. You might even move into a community with a swimming pool!
