At Meth-Wick Community, our Independence Plus style of living bridges the gap between independent living and assisted living, offering freedom, flexibility, and peace of mind.
It’s ideal for older adults who want to live independently today, with the reassurance that extra services are available when needed.
There are two financial options available for Independence Plus: buy-in or rental.
Read on to see how Independence Plus combines independence with the convenience of choice, along with the care, community, and security Meth-Wick is known for.
Q: What Makes Independence Plus Different from Independent or Assisted Living?
A: Independence Plus offers the best of both worlds. Residents enjoy the privacy and autonomy of independent senior living, along with helpful services such as housekeeping, meals, and laundry.
Residents can join the community and enjoy the campus, amenities, and social connections that make Meth-Wick such a special place to live. Once on campus, they have access to a care team that can help make transitions to higher levels of care seamless.
And because the option to rent is available for our Independence Plus apartments, it’s perfect for those who may want to try a senior living community before committing.
Q: What Services are Available to Independence Plus Residents?
Residents receive weekly housekeeping and laundry services. Residents can enjoy meals in The Manor Hilltop Dining Room in addition to meals prepared in their own kitchens. They can also personalize their Independence Plus experience with a variety of services, including:
- Access to an on-campus nurse practitioner and specialty physicians
- Recreational programming and fitness facilities
- Utilities and appliance maintenance
- Bus trips and social events
- Health and personal care services through Campus Nursing
This flexibility is what makes Independence Plus at Meth-Wick such an appealing option for older adults seeking a balance between freedom and support.
Q: Who is a Good Fit for Independence Plus?
A: Independence Plus is perfect for older adults who want to stay active and social, but appreciate having support available when needed. It’s designed for individuals who value their independence but may need assistance with day-to-day tasks such as cleaning, laundry, or meals. Many residents see it as a comfortable bridge between independent living and assisted living.
Q: What’s Daily Life Like at Independence Plus?
A: Every day is what residents make of it. Some enjoy exercise classes, social gatherings, or bus outings to local restaurants and cultural events. Others prefer quiet mornings in their apartment or walks on Meth-Wick’s scenic 68-acre campus. Independence Plus offers both freedom and connection, allowing residents to live life on their own terms.
Q: Can Couples Live in Independence Plus?
A: Absolutely. Independence Plus apartments are available in spacious one- and two-bedroom layouts, making them perfect for couples. It’s an especially good fit when one partner might need a little extra support while the other remains fully independent, allowing both to continue living together comfortably and safely.
Q: Can Residents Transition to Another Level of Care if Their Needs Change?
A: Yes. That’s one of the biggest advantages of living in a Life Plan Community like Meth-Wick. If a resident’s care needs increase, they can easily transition to another style of living on campus, without leaving the community, friends, and routines they already love.
