Question 1

Can children live in 55+ communities?

Accepted Answer

It is very rare to find a retirement community that allows children to stay full-time. Of course, grandchildren are always welcome guests, but typically they may only stay for up to 30 days at a time.

Question 2

What medical staff are available at independent living communities?

Accepted Answer

Most independent living facilities do not offer medical care or nursing staff on site. You can, however, hire in-home help separately as required.

Question 3

Can people with disabilities be independent?

Accepted Answer

This depends on the level of disability and the requirements of the facility. In most cases, independent senior living facilities don’t admit people who can’t take care of themselves on their own.
