Independence. Resources. Quality of Life.

Independence. It means something different for everyone. But most of us would like to be as independent as possible, for as long as possible – even if we are aging or have a chronic health condition or disability.


  • Independence may mean you would like to stay in your home (or a caregiver’s home) for as long as possible, even if you need help cooking, getting to a doctor’s appointment, taking your medication or bathing.

  • It may mean moving to an assisted living community, where you can have meals, socialize and get extra support if needed, but still have your privacy.

  • Independence may be freedom from the physical, emotional or financial strain of a chronic health condition such as diabetes, heart disease or arthritis. It may be having the confidence to do the things you enjoy, without the fear of falling.
