FAQs with answers to your senior living questions


Senior living questions are bound to occur in your search for new living arrangements. Rely on us as a resource and guide to help you with your big decision.

Independent living is ideal for seniors who are active, self-sufficient and looking for a maintenance-free lifestyle with social opportunities and amenities. Assisted living is designed for those who need some help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing or managing medications, while still maintaining as much independence as possible. Memory care is a more specialized type of care for individuals with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia, offering structured routines, cognitive support and a secure environment to ensure safety and comfort.

Choosing the right type of care at Boone Ridge depends on current health, level of independence and daily support needs. If you’re mostly independent but want a social, maintenance-free lifestyle, independent living may be a good fit. If you need help with everyday tasks like bathing, dressing or managing medications, assisted living could be more appropriate. For those experiencing memory loss, confusion or a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia, memory care offers the specialized support and safety required. It’s a good idea to speak with your doctor and tour communities to find the best match for your needs and lifestyle.
