Independent Senior Living is designed for active seniors who are ready to take the next step in their retirement years and join a community, but are capable of living without help from a caregiver.

Seniors who choose to live in Independent Living do so for a number of reasons. They may want to downsize from their current home, live in a community with other seniors, or have access to a range of services and amenities without the maintenance and upkeep required in a traditional home. These seniors continue their normal life, just in the comfort of a community of their peers.  As one resident said, "I have everything I need right here at Harmony and have so much fun!"

Dining in Harmony’s Independent Living Communities

While in Independent Living, the seniors enjoy one meal in the dining room a day as part of their rent. Additional meals are available for an additional charge. For meals outside of the dining room, residents can grocery shop and cook in their beautiful apartment kitchens on their own. Many Independent Living residents enjoy eating al fresco on their apartment balconies and patios.  

At Harmony, it is a priority to ensure that all residents feel their best while at mealtime. The dining rooms feature restaurant-style service and offer tables for two or more, as well as large seating arrangements for groups of friends and family. The Simply Your Choice diverse menus include something everyone can enjoy and allow residents to try a new dish or stick with their favorite selections.

Most Harmony communities also include a bistro, so residents can enjoy a cup of coffee, catch up on the news, and socialize as they start their day. Another popular amenity at Harmony communities is the pub, where residents gather with friends. The ever-popular meeting spot allows residents to share a drink with friends, watch the game, and celebrate with each other!
