What Is an Independent Living Facility?
Independent living facilities refer to a type of living environment for seniors whose functional ability has been preserved. This type of individual has the ability to perform Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) such as eating, dressing, and mobility.
Independent living facilities do not offer the same type of medical interventions as nursing care and assisted living facilities. The living environment focuses on the individual’s lifestyle and the environment.
Independent living includes managing the individual’s nutritional intake, medication reminders, and emergency response systems. Additionally, independent living facilities for seniors have been created to prevent health problems such as falls, social isolation, and cognitive decline.
