Independent living is a lifestyle and housing option that empowers individuals, typically seniors or those with disabilities, to live autonomously while maintaining their dignity and quality of life. It often involves residing in accessible, safe, and supportive housing communities or adapting one’s home environment to accommodate specific needs. Independent living encourages self-sufficiency, allowing individuals to manage daily activities, such as cooking, cleaning, and personal care, with minimal assistance. Support services, when needed, may include transportation, meal preparation, and healthcare assistance. This approach promotes a sense of freedom, choice, and social engagement while ensuring individuals can maintain their desired level of independence and self-reliance.
