Independent senior living

Independent senior living communities commonly provide apartments, but some also offer cottages, condominiums, and single-family homes.

Some also offer emergency alert systems, live-in managers, and amenities like pools, spas, clubhouses, and on-site beauty and barber salons.

[2] Independent senior living residents are permitted to use third-party home health care services to meet additional needs.

Elderly people who have chosen to live in an assisted retirement complex will often require more care and support to improve their quality of life.

It was predicted that by 2020, 19.3% of the UK population would be aged 65 or over, and a minimum of 35,000 new senior living development properties would need to be created to meet housing demands.
