Where Confidence Meets Peace of Mind
DISCOVER THE FREEDOM
Independent Living
Rediscover Your Independence
Independent Living (IL) communities are designed for adults 55 and older who do not need assistance with activities of daily living but are seeking flexible options to maintain independence. These communities typically offer apartment style living and provide 2-3 meals daily, friendly support, transportation, onsite amenities and social activities.
Despite the desire for “aging in place”, consider transitioning to IL when safety becomes a concern and individuals are challenged by daily tasks such as preparing a meal, doing the laundry, grocery shopping and keeping their home maintained.
Imagine waking up each day to chef-prepared meals, vibrant social activities, and a supportive community of friends who share your interests and passions. Embrace the convenience of maintenance- free living, where you live life on your own terms surrounded , surrounded by comfort, convenience, and companionship.
These 55+ older communities are designed to alleviate the need to maintain a personal property with all of it’s overhead. Your unfurnished apartment has a bedroom, small kitchen, fridge, living room and full bath. Monthly rent typically includes all utilities, housekeeping, cable TV, WiFi, meals, transportation and daily activities. Laundry services are available and pets are welcomed too. Independent communities may also offer on-site third-party services like barber and beauty salon services at a nominal cost, as well as physical therapy, podiatry and nutrition counseling.
For over 15 years, VIP Senior Placement Services has provided no cost professional guidance and consultation to seniors and their families who are seeking Assisted Living, Independent Living, or Memory Care Facilities.
Cost of Independent Living
The cost of Independent living in Arizona will vary from county to county. Keep in mind there is no care being provided and the lease contract is usually a minimum of 6 months. Monthly costs can range from $2000-$3500+ depending on amenities, services, room configuration and location. There is a non-refundable “Community Fee” charged upon entrance that can range from $500-$2000 and a second-person fee will range from $500-$1,000. Pets are welcomed and fees will vary.
Independent living offers a safe and enjoyable environment for activities and social events that can provide peace of mind for both family and loved ones. However, as your loved one requires more assistance with activities of daily living like grooming, dressing, bathing, etc. they become less eligible for independent living and may be better supported by environments that provide 24/7 support and levels of care, like Senior Assisted Living.
