About independent and assisted living in Surrey
Many senior residences offer a variety of care under one roof, sometimes split into different wings or areas of the facility. Other residences may be devoted entirely to one type of care offered. Every residence has its own strengths.
Independent living facilities in Surrey and area offer basic care and amenities. This includes recreational programs suited to the elderly, as well as communal dining; housekeeping may also be included for residents in this type of care. In some retirement homes, this level of care can be ideal for couples where one partner may have need for more extended care.
Assisted living care in Surrey and elsewhere provide a greater depth of health care, created with the needs of seniors in mind. In this type of care, seniors may spend more time with medical staff that ensures that their health and personal needs are met.

Living in any community that offers a variety of types of care entails that seniors will not need to move house later (into another unfamiliar residence), and their lives will not be further disrupted as their care needs may grow. In some cases, senior couples can remain together, although their care needs may be very different.

Retirement facilities in the Surrey area offer continuing care with options for rented or privately owned independent living. Community building programs, events and group activities provide opportunities for socialising and getting to know people better. If you have decided to make retired living special through community living, make sure to go through our listings in detail to choose the Surrey Retirement Home most appropriate for your needs.
