Independent Living vs. 55+ Communities

Palm Beach County has many 55+ communities. They’re age-restricted, but they’re housing, not senior living. They usually don’t include meals, housekeeping, or transportation. Independent living communities do.

Planning Ahead

Many independent living communities are part of life plan communities (CCRCs), which offer assisted living and memory care on the same campus. That can make a future move much easier.

Making the Move

Even independent living means downsizing. A senior move manager can help Mom choose what to bring and help the family agree on the rest, and estate sale, cleanout, and real estate pros can handle the house.
