What is independent living in Guelph?
Independent living, as the name implies, allows seniors to explore new freedoms. It's ideal for people who are cognitively and physically healthy, but may want relief from mundane chores. Typically, this includes cooking, housekeeping and laundry. Some communities provide additional care services as needed. This can include medication administration, or dressing and mobility support. Nurses and PSWs are on-site to support residents’ needs, so that they can spend their retirement doing the things they enjoy. And there's so much to do
Here’s a quick look at some of the benefits of independent living in Guelph:

Enhanced senior care, backed by research
Guelph gives residents access to all the fabulous benefits of the Research Institute on Aging (RIA). The RIA is a non-profit organization aimed at enhancing the quality of life and care of older adults. It was founded at the nearby University of Waterloo, and now partners with Conestoga College and many of the retirement homes listed above. Essentially, the RIA applies research findings to the real world. They partner with seniors and care professionals to conduct research. Then, they use their findings to develop resources, programs and education. Residing at an independent living facility in Guelph means you may have a role in helping to improve the quality of life of seniors just like you!
