The built-in benefits of senior-only communities are:
- Many peers living nearby with whom to socialize
- Features designed into the housing to provide comfort, security, and safety for seniors
Independent Living facilities often include a number of optional services, including:
- Recreational, educational, and social activities such as shopping trips and cultural outings
- Exercise facilities, such as pools, saunas and exercise machines
- Activity rooms or clubhouses
- Tennis and shuffleboard courts
Some communities include full-time directors for social or recreational services, while others offer only informal activities. Some facilities even have a social worker on staff to assist in contacting agencies that provide medical or personal care. Many also are gated communities with their own security guards.
