What is Luxury Senior Living?
Even if you’ve never visited a senior living community, an image probably comes to mind when you hear people talk about them. However, we invite you to challenge what you think you know about senior living. Today’s retirement lifestyle at communities like Freedom Village at Brandywine are more of what you’d expect at an all-inclusive resort, which is why we’re described as luxury senior living community.
How are Luxury Retirement Communities Different?
Luxury senior living offers a maintenance-free independent living lifestyle where you never have to worry about housekeeping and indoor or outdoor maintenance. With a selection of fine and casual dining options, you don’t want to, you don’t have to grocery shop, cook ever again unless you want to. Freedom Village at Brandywine is a Life Plan Community, which means our independent living is backed with access to a continuum of on-site care, if ever needed. Plus, we keep up with all the trends active older adults like you are looking for to help you get even more out of life.
