Choosing an Independent Living Community comes with many questions. Here, we provide clear answers to the most common ones.
Senior Independent Living is an opportunity for people over the age of 55 to live in a private home or suite while also receiving the extra support they need. This living arrangement allows residents to maintain their active lifestyles without having to worry about tasks they no longer wish to handle on their own. For example, you can live in a home without having to shovel your driveway or mow your lawn.
Our Independent Living facility also provides more opportunities for active living than you would have access to on your own. We have a wide variety of amenities and activities centrally located on campus. It’s the best way to enjoy a comfortable and socially active retirement.
Assisted Living is for seniors who need extra help with daily tasks beyond what is provided in an independent living arrangement. This includes laundry, three daily meals, nursing care and more. In contrast, independent living residents largely take care of these tasks on their own, though the extra help is available should they need it.
Peterson Meadows is a private pay community. Many residents use savings from their pensions, investments or retirement accounts. Often, the funds from a home sale are used to pay for the Entrance Fee.
Independent Living communities are also known as 55 and over communities because you must be at least 55 years old to live there. Residents also need to be able to live independently and pass a financial screening to ensure they can afford the monthly fees.
We want you to be able to live as independently as you can for as long as you can. However, we also know the amount of care seniors need tends to increase over time. For this reason, we strive to support each resident through every stage of the aging process. If a point comes when you are unable to live independently anymore, our expert team will help you and your family understand your options, such as in-home care options to support you in your independent home or suite, our Assisted Living communities, Willows Arbor, Hunt Terrace or Highview in the Woodlands. We also offer residency in our Health and Rehab Center if you need extra health support for a time.
Yes! Rockford is one of the best places to retire in the state of Illinois and even the entire country for multiple reasons.
