When people reach their senior years in life, questions may arise about how to maintain an enjoyable and safe lifestyle with the appropriate levels of independence and support. St. Charles Community in Covington, KY, is a faith-based organization that has provided independent living apartments and a variety of flexible residential and non-residential options to seniors for over 50 years. St. Charles Community serves seniors who are interested in independent living apartments or cottages as well as those who require consistent care.

Here are three reasons why, when possible, independent living apartments are a great option for seniors:

• Freedom: A senior enjoying life in an independent living community has freedom in their schedule to do whatever activities they like. At St. Charles Community, residents might enjoy a hike or take a chartered bus to a community performance. Having options and authority over how to spend your time is both empowering and comforting.
• Socialization: Independent living allows seniors to form bonds and friendships as they see fit. Whether they’re enjoying an off-campus recreational activity or eating at the on-campus Charles Street Café, seniors can socialize as they wish at St. Charles Community, which benefits their emotional and psychological well-being.
• Support: Individuals in independent living apartments can receive the amount of assistance they require at St. Charles Community so that they can be free and safe in their daily lives. The expert transportation, meals, and housekeeping services provided helps seniors feel both cared for and independent.

St. Charles Community takes pride in offering compassionate, professional, and comfortable senior living facilities and senior services in Covington, Kentucky, and the greater Cincinnati area.
