The Benefits of Independent Living & Retirement Living

What exactly is Independent Living and What are the Benefits of Independent Living?

Sometimes you may hear Independent Living referenced as Retirement Living Facilities, Elderly Living Facilities or Senior Retirement Housing. There are many benefits of Independent Living. Independent Living or Dallas Senior Retirement Housing options offer individual apartments in a community setting where meals and social activities are provided. Dallas Retirement Living Facilities offer a lifestyle free of all the responsibilities that come with maintaining your home. Typically, the costs associated with senior retirement housing are often comparable or even less expensive than maintaining a home.

Benefits of Independent Living & Services Typically Included:

  • Monthly rent includes all utilities except local telephone service & expanded cable
  • Chef-prepared meals served in a restaurant-style dining room with the option of eating in own apartment
  • Variety of day and night activities with scheduled transportation for shopping, medical appointments and off-site activities within a 10 mileage radius
  • Weekly housekeeping, including laundering of bed linens/towels
  • Emergency call systems and security

To learn more about the benefits of independent living please contact me (Paul) by email at paul@seniorlivingspecialists.com  or call me at 214.929.5055.  Just remember, there is no cost to families as Senior Living Specialists is compensated a fixed referral if somebody were to move into a different facility as my company is intended to be a non-biased third party service.
