Ivy Terrace of Lapeer offers our residents luxurious, comfortable and community living without the burden of taking care of a home. Imagine a life where home maintenance, lawn care and snow removal are never a worry. A life where social activities, recreation and entertainment are all available without leaving your home. 

The truth is some individuals need a higher level of care than others. Independent senior living provides an apartment-style living to independent seniors looking to maintain their independence, discover companionship, and live inspired to make every day more adventurous than the last. Not to be confused with assisted living, independent living offers an outlet for residents to live life to the fullest. 

Let’s start with asking yourself, what level of care do you need to live comfortably? Do you require a live-in nurse to assist you with any disabilities you might have? If the answer is yes, then independent living might not be right for you. Independent senior living is for individuals usually 55 and older that still want the opportunity of achievement.

It’s perfect for individuals that still want to play a big part in the lives of their friends, family, and neighbors. If you are looking for an independent living community that allows you to continue doing the activities you’re used to, then you’re in luck. This is your opportunity to live in a community that will help support your goals, desires, and life‘s dreams.

Assisted living for seniors is often medically oriented to provide specialized care for individuals with disabilities, a lack of mobility, or rapidly diminishing health. This is very different from independent living which gives residents the freedom to maintain their livelihood while being in a community of like-minded socially active residents.

Certain individuals that just require assistance with housekeeping, meal preparation, and other day-to-day chores are perfect candidates for independent senior living communities. However, when and if an individual needs constant medical attention, and the supervision of qualified medical staff, assisted living is usually the best option.
