Frequently Asked Questions

Independent living allows seniors to live on their terms without the responsibilities and costs of maintaining a home. Having 24/7 security, professional staff and personal assistance available if needed provides a feeling of comfort and security.

Designed with the needs of active seniors in mind, residents can also take part in all of our opportunities for fun, fitness, and fellowship.

Independent living residents should be relatively self-sufficient. They should be able to take care of personal needs like bathing, dressing, eating, using the bathroom and moving around their apartment and community common areas on their own.

They should be able to understand and manage any necessary medications. They should also be able to manage their money, safely use appliances and technology in their apartment and do light housework.

Assisted living communities cater to seniors who are physically unable to live on their own.

Independent living communities are for adults who are able to live alone or as couples without the need for personal care or skilled nursing.

Rita R.

We love living here. It makes retirement living a joy! Our number reason to move from our former independent living apartment to The Crescent was for a better dining experience – that’s that’s what we have! The chef and his team prepare excellent, healthy, yummy meals. The residents are delightful, friendly, informed, energetic seniors. Our shiny, new apartment is wonderful, and having our own private garage is perfect – especially during inclement weather. And we have great entertainment throughout the week. Whether you are single, or a couple, you will feel at home here.
