Healthy, active seniors looking for hospitality services that will make their lives easier, but who do not require personal care or on-site health care, may prefer an independent living community that offers congregate services.

Generally, basic services are included as part of the monthly rent and additional services may be added for an extra fee. Basic services typically include daily meals, linen service and light housekeeping. Extra services could be full maid service and laundry.

Independent living communities offer residents private, unfurnished apartments and may provide additional amenities, such as a beauty and/or barbershop, a van that runs to nearby medical or shopping centers, a wellness center and scheduled social activities.
