Independent Living

Independent living is intended for functionally independent people who are capable of directing their own lives.

Residents direct their own lives, come and go as they please and participate in activities of their choosing within their community.

Services provided include a menu of optional fee-for-services from a base rate which include meals, housekeeping, and recreational opportunities.
