Independent Living
What this looks like:
• Apartment
• Condominium
• Retirement community
• Single-family home
Pros:
• The comfort of staying in your own home
• Community programs and the Internet can help to bring meals, groceries, and other services to your door.
Cons:
• Accidents can happen at home. You may want to do a "safety survey" of every room. For instance, do you have good lighting in your kitchen? Are your front steps slippery?
• Paying for the help of health care professionals and others can be more expensive if they come to your home.
