Independent Living
Living carefree and maintenance-free is just the beginning. Independent living at a Carespring community comes with a wealth of ways to enjoy life to the fullest — outstanding amenities, social events and activities, wellness programs, healthy dining and more.
What is Independent Living?
The name says it all. Independent living gives you the perfect opportunity to maintain your independence while leaving household chores and lawn care far behind. Think of it as the best of both worlds — providing all the comforts of home with none of the work.
At Carespring’s independent living communities, you’ll enjoy a carefree lifestyle in beautifully designed apartments or spacious patio homes. And you’ll stay active, social and fulfilled with convenient access to an array of premier amenities, engaging recreational activities, health and wellness programs and more.
Who is Independent Living Right for?
Independent living is the ideal choice for seniors who are:
- Looking to maintain their freedom and independence without the time-consuming hassle of home ownership
- Passionate about living an active lifestyle and enjoying their retirement years to the fullest
- Seeking a strong sense of community and belonging — with plenty of social events that foster friendship and well-being
- Prioritizing safety and security. Independent living communities provide peace of mind with safety features like secure entrances and walkways, emergency call systems and on-site staff available 24/7.
- Preparing for the future. At The Barrington and Chesterwood, our two Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs), you have the flexibility to begin at any level of care and seamlessly transition to more advanced care as your needs evolve.

Independent Living FAQs
Independent living is ideal for older adults who are generally in good health and want to maintain their autonomy while enjoying the benefits of a maintenance-free lifestyle. It’s designed for individuals who don’t require daily medical or personal care, but do appreciate the convenience of services like housekeeping, dining and social activities.
Carespring communities, for example, offer vibrant environments with access to wellness programs, engaging events and beautiful surroundings.
Residents typically enjoy a wide range of services such as:
- Weekly housekeeping and linen service
- Chef-prepared meals
- Utilities and maintenance
- Access to on-site amenities like restaurants, salons, theaters and wellness centers
Carespring’s independent living communities also include spacious apartments or cottages with modern appliances and access to “Main Street” features like ice cream parlors and chapels.
Many independent living communities, including those at Carespring, are part of Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs). This means residents have priority access to higher levels of care — such as assisted living or skilled nursing — within the same network if their health needs evolve. This continuity provides peace of mind for residents and families alike.
