Independent Living at MorningStar of Pasadena


Statistics show approximately one million Americans reside in some type of senior living community, and by 2030, the number is expected to double. At the same time, the number of seniors 85 and older is projected to triple from 5.7 million in 2011 to 14.1 million in 2040. Within the category of senior living, there are several options available for older adults including independent living, which is specifically designed for active adults 55+.

The reason so many seniors are turning to independent living is they love the many advantages it offers. Residents like the idea of predictable budgeting and freedom from costly, unexpected home repairs and on-going maintenance. Another important perk of independent living communities is built-in companionship, and in many cases, activities and programming, and tasty meals they no longer must cook.
