Independent Living vs. Assisted Living

Senior living has changed. Evolving from strictly medical care facilities, today’s independent living communities are more than just places for seniors to live and receive care, and many residents choose to move before they need any care at all. The difference between independent living and assisted living is the level of daily support: independent living residents manage their own routines, while assisted living adds help with medication management, mobility, and coordinating care with physicians, delivered in the resident’s private apartment.

Many Leisure Care communities offer both, along with memory care, so a change in needs does not have to mean a change in address. Our independent living communities are places where residents spend retirement among peers, make new friends, and live active, energetic lives. It’s our job, promise, and mission to provide high-quality care, accommodations, and amenities for every one of them.
