Independent Living vs Assisted Living-

With the many options out there for your retirement, it can be confusing knowing what choice to make. Many senior housing communities have independent living, assisted living, and nursing home options. We want to provide you with some helpful definitions to navigate through these choices. Many people are misinterpreting their needs to Assisted Living versus Independent Living.

What is Independent retirement living?
With an independent lifestyle at our VilJoya community, you have the time to focus on what’s important to you. Maybe it’s being closer and spending more time with your family. Or meeting your neighbors and nurturing new friendships. Or perhaps it’s visiting the museum, playing bridge, volunteering to help improve your community or reading your favorite novels, again.

Relaxed Independent Living

Our independent retirement lifestyle leaves you in control, making the choices that are right for you. And with all of the “little things” like cooking, cleaning, and maintaining the house taken care of, you have the time and energy to focus on enjoying your retirement.

Good candidates for Independent Living:

Are healthy and able to care for themselves
Want to live independently
Desire the security of this community
Prefer to live among their peers
Can communicate with doctors and caregivers by themselves, or with the help of family or friends, but without the help of trained, onsite staff

What is Assisted living?
When do you want Assisted Living? You make this choice when a medical care community is needed to assist with medicine management, dressing, bathing, restroom assistance, and other health needs you may have. Medical care varies from one community to the next. They also provide meals, transportation, housekeeping, and activities. Assisted living residents require a higher level of care than Independent Living.
At Viljoya, we will be happy to assist you with your decision. We work together with local assisted living facilities that may better fit your needs.
You are our number 1 priority. Viljoya has been developed for residents who want a Montana active lifestyle, complete with an independent lifestyle free of home and yard maintenance. We cater to your needs and desires because you deserve the best Montana has to offer.
