Senior Apartments vs Independent Living: Ashford Communities Guide

Senior Apartments vs. Independent Living: Ashford Communities Guide

As we age, our housing needs change. Many seniors get confused and compare senior apartments vs independent living communities, which one is better for them. While both options offer comfort and convenience, they cater to different lifestyles and needs. Understanding the key differences can help you or your loved one make the best decision.

What Are Senior Apartments?

Senior apartments are residential communities designed specifically for older adults, usually aged 55+ or 62+. These apartments offer a low-maintenance lifestyle without the added services of a retirement or assisted living community.

Senior apartments are ideal for active adults who want a comfortable home in a community of peers but do not require daily assistance.

What Is Independent Living?

Independent living communities provide a resort-style environment for seniors who want more amenities and services while maintaining independence. Unlike senior apartments, independent living communities often include meals, housekeeping, transportation, and social activities.

Independent living is perfect for seniors who want an active social life with added conveniences but do not need medical or daily personal care assistance.
