Seniors Living Alone

As we age, most of us claim we want to age in place—to stay in the familiar homes we love throughout the rest of our lives. But many seniors don’t think this decision through and wind up unsafe, unsupported, lonely and even housebound.

Understand how retirement communities differ from other senior living options and learn how various assets, income sources and benefits can cover the costs of living in an independent senior community.

Also known as retirement communities, independent living enables self-sufficient seniors to enjoy a social atmosphere, amenities, services and activities without any of the responsibilities and maintenance that come with home ownership.

At-home care for seniors can include help with housekeeping, transportation, meal preparation, personal care, medication reminders, and more.
