Independent Living
Independent living is an ideal setting for those who are disabled and want a certain amount of independence or retired seniors who want to eliminate the burden of house maintenance and increase their social surroundings.
You may want to consider independent living if:
- You see needing minor assistance with activities of daily living.
- You’d like a place that does not require a lot of maintenance and upkeep, and is easier to navigate.
- You like the idea of socializing with peers and having activity options nearby.

Assisted Living
Assisted living is a housing option for those who need help with a few activities required by daily living. Services vary on the facility, and usually include bathing, dressing or medication management; nutritious meals, a variety of planned activities, transportation and a comfortable apartment.
An assisted living facility may be a good choice if:
- You need more personal care services than are feasible at home or in an independent living retirement community.
- You don’t need the round-the-clock medical care and supervision of a nursing home.

Nursing Home
A nursing home is normally the highest level of care for older adults outside of a hospital, because they provide a high level of medical care.
A nursing home may be a good choice if:
- Both medical and personal care needs have become too great to handle at home or in another facility.
- You need a higher level of care temporarily after a hospitalization, but it’s anticipated you will return to home or another facility.
