What independent living is

More time for the people and pastimes you enjoy

Independent living is for seniors who manage their own personal care and want less home upkeep. At The Terraces, meals, housekeeping and maintenance leave more time for friends, interests and plans of your own. Help with bathing, dressing or medication is not included.

You keep your independence, your schedule and your car, with more time for the people and pastimes you enjoy.

Is it right for you?

Signs it could be a good fit

Many people move while life is going well, so they can enjoy it, rather than waiting until a move feels urgent.

  • Keeping up a house takes more time than you would like
  • You would enjoy company at dinner more often
  • You drive less than you used to, or would like to
  • Friends have moved and evenings feel quiet
  • You want a plan in place before you need more support
  • You would rather lock the door and travel without worry

Questions families ask

Who is independent living for?

Seniors who live on their own without help with daily routines, but would like to hand off cooking, cleaning and home upkeep and live among neighbors.

How is it different from assisted living?

Independent living includes meals, housekeeping and activities but no personal care. Assisted living adds help with routines such as bathing, dressing and medication.

What is the difference between a senior apartment and independent living?

Many senior apartment buildings offer only the apartment. Independent living at The Terraces also includes chef-prepared meals, housekeeping, maintenance, scheduled transportation and a full activity calendar in the monthly rate.

What if my needs change later?

If you later need personal care, talk with the team about your options. Tarina of Kingwood is a separate Saga community nearby offering assisted living and memory care. Any move depends on assessment and availability.

Can I keep my car?

Yes. Residents are welcome to keep a car, and scheduled transportation is there when you would rather not drive.

Do I have to join the activities?

Never. Join in as much or as little as you like.

Can I visit first?

Yes. Tour in person, join a live video tour, or come for lunch in the restaurant.
