Living Independently generally means living in a private residence, alone or with others, rather than in an assisted living facility or nursing home. In this section, information is available for individuals who are independent in managing all the aspects of daily life, as well as for those who need assistance with tasks like housework, yard work, or finances from family, friends, or paid providers. There are many programs, services, and benefits a person living independently may wish to explore as one's health and social circumstances change.
