Safety and Emergency Response Independent
living communities usually have a security staff
during overnight who looks after any falls or
accidents. On the other hand assisted living
communities offer nurses, caregivers in the
community every hour who are ready to help you in
every situation and understand when and whom to
call for better assistance.

Delicious and Nutritious Meals Depending on
the rent independent living offers one or two
meals per day and you may need to pay an
additional cost for the meal at dining room or
restaurant. Assisted living community offers
three meals per day without any additional costs.
Meals are provided to individual residents
depending on their medical conditions. Even
snacks are also available throughout the day.

Community Life When comparing community life
between independent living and assisted living
facilities, you will have more opportunities in
assisted living for socialization, making new
friends, experiencing new adventures and
facilities. In a good assisted living community
it is now nearly impossible to lead a boring life
which is not the same thing for independent
living facilities.
