What is Independent Living?

Independent living means you or your loved one can complete many everyday activities of daily living, but prefer access to a broader social community near you. When you enroll in an independent living program at one of our senior living communities, you gain access to a network of other people similar to you – fellow independent seniors who enjoy the company of new friends and exciting social activities.

It isn’t all that different from living in your own place. You still have your own private room, have access to common areas, and have your meals in the dining room. For the most part, residents remain autonomous during their stay. The key difference is you have access to a community of other residents, and some essential care services should the need arise.

Overall, this lifestyle option is an excellent way for seniors to maintain an independent lifestyle while also receiving regular activity support as needed.

Each Frontier independent living center operates under the same goal: to provide a high quality, engaging, and vibrant community for senior citizens. We believe when our team’s goal aligns with our residents’ top priorities, it’s a recipe for a long and happy partnership.

At Frontier, our communities:

  • Encourage independent living skills.
  • Maximize residents’ dignity, autonomy, and independence.
  • Provide accessibility for each resident to solve their long-term care needs.

Most importantly, our staff focuses on increasing and maintaining the quality of life as much as possible. We’re 100% committed to this. Our team ensures each resident receives round-the-clock attention and hands-on senior care in addition to continuous access to vibrant social events.

Is Independent Living Right For Me?

Living your best life is about choices. As seniors experience their golden years or go through retirement, they tend to want to unburden themselves from the upkeep and responsibilities associated with not only homeownership, but also daily chores such as cooking, cleaning and yard work.

If you are looking to spend the next chapter in your life in a carefree environment with wonderful amenities, social interaction with friends, and plenty of activities to enjoy, Independent Living at a Frontier community is a great choice.
