What is Independent Living?
Independent living is an attractive option for people who want to maintain their independence and private lives while also having options for social interactions with others that share similar interests. Another benefit of independent living is that housekeeping, landscaping, snow removal and some meals are all taken care of.
With luxurious common areas, a variety of dining experiences, an abundance of amenities and plenty of opportunities to explore personal passions, independent living residents thrive at Benchmark communities.
