At The Ackerly at Sherwood, our independent lifestyle option is designed for seniors who want to live independently in a community setting. For residents who do not yet need assisted living services or memory care, an independent lifestyle offers all the benefits of community life without the expense of care. Take a closer look at what an independent lifestyle is, its benefits, and what it includes at The Ackerly at Sherwood. 

What is an Independent Lifestyle in Senior Living?

An independent lifestyle in a senior living community is a living arrangement where seniors maintain their autonomy while benefiting from community amenities and support services. It’s designed for active seniors who do not need daily care but appreciate the convenience of services like housekeeping, transportation, and meal preparation. This lifestyle allows residents to enjoy social activities, pursue hobbies, and participate in community events while having the peace of mind that additional care services are available if needed. It emphasizes freedom, social connection, and a worry-free environment.
