Independent Supportive Living

What is Independent Supportive Living?

Independent supportive living may combine all of the benefits of an independent lifestyle in a retirement residence—housekeeping and laundry, leisure and social opportunities and 24-hour security—with delicious daily meals and the ability to take advantage of personal support services like medication administration or assistance with your daily routine.

Personal support services may be offered by Chartwell staff, through government-funded home care agencies or private pay services, depending on your province of residence and the services in the retirement community you are interested in.

Benefits of Independent Supportive Living

Are you an active and independent senior who could benefit from some additional daily support? Many people who choose independent supportive living appreciate not having to grocery shop or do all the cooking, and feel peace of mind having services like 24-hour emergency response and personal support options like medication administration at hand. An active social life and a complement of recreational opportunities like exercise classes, themed events and outings can also help you lead your worry-free retirement years to the fullest.

How do I move into a retirement community that offers Independent Supportive Living?

We invite you to inquire about availability at the Chartwell retirement community you are interested in! When you visit, staff may conduct an assessment to ensure independent supportive living will provide you with the right amount of support you need, and may recommend another lifestyle option if required.
