Independent Living at Monarch Communities®

Independent living is often the first step for many individuals and couples that have lived in their own home for years. We understand the challenges of home ownership people face in their aging years and the questions they may have about moving to independent living. Please, let us help put your mind at ease.

The next stage in your life is only getting started—and what better place to start this new and exciting stage than at Monarch, the next generation of senior living? Monarch Communities® leads the revolution of contemporary person-centric wellness senior living by creating the opportunity for residents, their families, and staff to truly develop genuine connections with each other. The result? A true community of compassionate individuals.

Some people might think of independent living as nothing more than retirement communities, but that’s not how Monarch sees it.

While there are plenty of senior housing options available for fun-loving, active older adults, independent living is a type of care for those who don’t necessarily need help with activities of daily living or require skilled nursing care. At Monarch Communities®, we provide all the services our residents desire, so they can focus on life without household responsibilities: Dining, housekeeping, maintenance, engagement, and much more. However, should the need ever arise, residents have peace of mind that they can access a higher level of care (like assisted living and memory care) from our secure, intimate setting.

Moreover, independent senior living options allow older adults to live in a community of other active adults while still having the freedom to choose how they want to live. Our Monarch Communities® take care of the landscaping, home maintenance, housekeeping, dining and more. That way, residents need to worry about only one thing: Connecting with others, easy living, and having fun!

Housekeeping, lawn maintenance, and more can all eat up valuable free time. That is why we offer a wide range of curated services to free up time, so that residents can dedicate themselves to the things they love, hassle and worry free.

Our independent senior living communities offer services that allow for care-free living, including:

• Dining in a variety of dining venues, from full-service restaurants to bistros and cafés
• Housekeeping and laundry services
• On-site access to health care services
• Move-in coordination services
• Concierge services, including transportation
• Residence and building maintenance services
• Plans that meet the unique care needs of each resident

We believe in the power of metamorphosis. Independent living at Monarch allows you or your loved ones to start a new, exciting change in their lives—try new things, rediscover old hobbies, and transform into the people they have always wanted to become. That is why we offer a wide range of amenities to help our residents age with dignity, freedom, and style.

Amenities offered in some of our independent senior living communities include:

• Spacious common areas with bountiful natural light
• Al fresco dining opportunities
• Flexible dining in our spacious dining rooms, bistros, and cafés, serving three delicious and nutritious meals daily
• Mouth-watering meals for both residents and visiting family members
• Top-notch fitness centers with fitness instructors
• Outdoor walkways to support an active lifestyle
• Club room venues offering space for yoga classes and movie screenings
• Beauty salons and spas offering massages, acupuncture, manicures/pedicures, and more

It’s our philosophy that the entire community is elevated when everyone – staff, residents, and families included – support and genuinely care for each other.

From our caregivers to chefs and the front-desk personnel to housekeepers, everyone is considered a vital piece in our larger community. We are dedicated to learning who our residents really are. What are their favorite books? Their go-to movies? What truly makes your loved one happy? When our staff knows our residents, it allows them to build relationships built on mutual trust and respect, which in turn becomes the foundation for our entire community.

The path to wellness is all your own; we simply provide the backdrop to support you along the way.

Our environments seamlessly blend comfort and technology, offering an environment that allows staff members to easily tend to each resident’s needs. Every aspect is designed deliberately, including open-space architecture, lots of windows to create sun-drenched effects, and warm earthy tones, as evidence-based research shows these colors invite peace and harmony.

It is our intent that the environment—down to the very last detail—upholds the highest level of integrity when it comes to design safety and complete wellness.
