What is Independent Living?
Most retirement villages offer residents the choice of Independent Living Units or Serviced Apartment accommodation. Some retirement villages offer exclusive Independent Living Unit accommodation whilst most others offer a variety of both.
An Independent Living Unit (commonly referred to as an ‘ILU’ or ‘villa’), is an accommodation unit designed for the independent, active retiree who does not require assistance with day-to-day living. An Independent Living Unit can be a 1, 2 or 3 bedroom unit that may form part of a duplex, a high-rise complex, be semi-detached or stand alone. Car accommodation is usually provided by an internal access garage or a carport. Some Independent Living Units offer dual car accommodation to cater to the needs of today’s retirees.
Independent Living is ideal for seniors who:
- want a secure base in which to live
- want to live independently
- desire the security that a retirement village offers
- no longer wants to maintain a house
- prefer to live among like-minded people with similar backgrounds and life experiences
Our Independent Living Units are designed specifically for independent retirees who want to enjoy a lifestyle filled with recreational, educational and social activities with other residents.
