Independent Living in North Georgia

What is Independent Living?

Independent living is a residential rental option for seniors who want to maintain their independence while enjoying the convenience, companionship, and amenities of a senior living community.  There are no upfront fees or long term contracts.  

Residents have their own private apartment and manage their daily lives without the responsibilities of maintaining a home. Services such as meals, housekeeping, transportation, activities, and property maintenance make everyday living easier.

Unlike assisted living, independent living is designed for seniors who do not require routine hands-on assistance with personal care.

The property is breathtaking! My wife and I attended their open house of Songbird and did a tour of the apartments. The staff was so helpful and Jess did a great job with our tour. Everything was clean and crisp and even had a mountain view! This is one of the nicer looking ends of Jasper. Highly recommend visiting.

Who Needs Independent Living

Independent living is ideal for seniors who can manage their daily personal needs but want freedom from home maintenance, opportunities for social engagement, convenient services, and the comfort of a supportive community.

Unlike assisted living, independent living is designed for seniors who do not require routine hands-on assistance with personal care.

Upkeep, repairs, and taxes on your home take more energy and money than you want to spend

Cooking for one has become a chore, and meals get skipped

Days feel quiet, and you spend more time alone than you want

Your health, or your spouse's, has changed, and you want peace of mind about the future
