Choosing to move into senior living doesn’t mean giving up independence. For many older adults, it’s about finding a living option that supports their current lifestyle while allowing them to let go of a few daily responsibilities and plan with confidence.
That’s exactly where Independence Plus at Meth-Wick Community fits in. It’s designed for people who want to live independently today, with help with some everyday tasks and the comfort of knowing support is already in place if they ever need it.
Here are five reasons to consider Independence Plus if you’re planning a move to senior living.
1. You Stay Independent, Without Doing Everything Yourself
Independence Plus is ideal for older adults who manage well on their own but prefer not to handle every household task. Weekly housekeeping, laundry services, and dining options help simplify daily life without taking away autonomy.
Independence Plus residents can also personalize their 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
2. Built-in Flexibility and Support
Independence Plus is designed to adapt as life changes. Residents live in private apartments with full access to Meth-Wick’s campus, amenities, and community life, while knowing additional services and care are already available on campus if needs evolve.
Rather than waiting for a major health event or urgent transition, Independence Plus allows residents to plan for the future. Support can be added gradually, and if a transition to a higher level of care is needed, it happens seamlessly, without leaving the Meth-Wick campus.
It’s a proactive approach that provides reassurance without requiring immediate assistance.
3. It Works Well for Couples with Different Needs
Independence Plus is a comfortable solution for couples, especially when one partner could benefit from added support while the other remains fully independent. Spacious one- and two-bedroom apartments allow couples to continue living together safely and comfortably.
4. You Can Try Community Living Without a Long-Term Commitment
With both buy-in and rental options available, Independence Plus offers the flexibility many seniors appreciate. Rental apartments make it easy to explore life in a Life Plan Community, meet neighbors, and experience the Meth-Wick lifestyle, before making a long-term decision.
5. A Campus That Encourages an Active, Connected Lifestyle
Life in Independence Plus extends well beyond your apartment. With an expansive 68-acre campus with walking trails and green spaces, plus a full calendar of activities, it’s easy to stay active, engaged, and connected without leaving the community. The result is a lifestyle that balances freedom, connection, and reassurance.
