If you or a family member is looking into senior living communities in the Columbia area, you likely know what you’re looking for in terms of assisted vs. independent living. For those unfamiliar:
- Assisted living communities involve hands-on care to help residents navigate their daily lives. Think: bathing, dressing, medication management + safety checks.
- Independent living is more hands-off, offerings residents more freedom and flexibility. Think: private apartments, fitness classes + activities, Anytime Dining , outings and more .
