Frequently Asked Questions: Independent Living in Princeton, NJ

What is a Life Plan Community?

A Life Plan Community, also known as a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), is a full-service retirement community that offers the privacy of your own residence, the companionship of community life, convenient services and amenities, a full calendar of activities, and the freedom to live to your potential. A special benefit is having access to high-quality health services, which can include independent senior living, assisted living, home care, senior rehabilitation, skilled nursing, memory care, and more.

How does a Life Plan Community differ from an active adult community?

Life Plan Communities offer a unique mix of housing, hospitality, social opportunity, and health care for seniors of various ages. Residents live independently in private apartments or freestanding homes while benefitting from professional services and amenities that make life easier. This includes weekly housekeeping and maintenance, transportation services, restaurant-style meals, and much more.

Active adult communities are geared toward the youngest seniors, offering single-family homes or condominiums and various community amenities. As an entry point into senior living, they provide convenience while still maintaining independence. While the groundskeeping and general maintenance (lawn mowing, snow removal, etc.) are taken care of, residents are responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of their own homes and driveways.

What is the difference between independent living and assisted living?

The main difference between independent living and assisted living is the level of support and care provided. Independent living is ideal for individuals who don’t need daily assistance but want to enjoy a connected, enriching lifestyle with amenities and services at their fingertips. Assisted living includes personal care and support with daily tasks, such as bathing, dressing, grooming, medication management, and more.
