More and More Seniors are Choosing Independent Living

Over the last several years, independent living communities have become a popular option for seniors around the country. The appeal includes no longer having to deal with the upkeep and maintenance of a home and instead making their lives easier by moving into a place that meets their needs without giving up their independence. Today’s communities’ offers older adults security and safety as well as peace of mind knowing others are always around.

Independent living communities are a place where similarly aged people in a similar time of life comfortably live among one another. Moreover such communities solve a growing problem reported by many seniors, that of loneliness. As we grow older our social circle gets smaller and smaller as many older adults have retired from jobs that created opportunities for day-to-day contact with acquaintances and business associates. In addition some seniors no longer feel comfortable driving, which in turn, can limit their ability to socialize. Study after study has shown that isolation becomes a bigger and bigger problem as we age and can lead to severe loneliness and even depression. On the other hand, independent living communities naturally promote new friendships and regular socialization.
