What is independent living?

Independent living is typically somewhat institutional setting but there's really very little as far as an institutional structure or requirement. Typically it would be a pretty good sized building with a lot of units and generally you'd have you're own unit or you and your spouse would have a unit. There would be some services that would be available although maybe not required that you take them. For example, the ability to go to a central dining area, laundry services, and sometimes transportation services. That would be a typical independent senior living setting.
