Retirement Community

Senior independent lifestyle living is simply any housing arrangement designed exclusively for seniors, generally those aged 55 and over.

Georgia retirement communities offer plenty of differences from other senior care centers. Retirement communities are oriented towards seniors who want to remain independent throughout their golden years. The community staff only provides maintenance, upkeep and housekeeping functions for senior residences while providing 24-hour emergency assistance for those in need. Residents live comfortably in single-level homes or apartment-style residences that are designed with seniors in mind. Residents also have free rein over their comings and goings. This gives seniors the ability to travel throughout the country or even around the world and come back to a caring and hassle-free environment.

These communities offer a carefree lifestyle and cater to seniors who are self-sufficient and who do not need hands-on care. Residents live in fully equipped private housing unit/apartment that typically includes a kitchenette, and sometimes a full kitchen. They may offer meal preparation, weekly housekeeping and laundry, house maintenance and repairs, trash removal and scheduled transportation for shopping and medical appointments. These communities usually offer a broad range of intellectual, physical and social activities. An independent living community may also be called a retirement community. Housing options include apartment-style living or free-standing cottages. For many communities, amenities include a club house, library, community center or fitness room. What distinguishes independent living communities from senior apartments or 55+ communities are the services provided.
