Moving In, Moving Up: Senior Living That Sets You Free

Jan 12, 2026 | Featured, Independent Living

You’ve likely heard the phrase “less is more.” Maybe you’ve used it yourself when talking about things like home decor (or maybe even a new wardrobe).

Now, it’s time to apply that term to your entire life. It’s time to shed the burdens of homeownership so you can give yourself back more time, more freedom, and more opportunities to do what you love.

In Priority Life Care’s independent living communities, that’s our core focus. We want to help you upgrade your lifestyle by simplifying your responsibilities.

If you think about your current to-do list, there’s a good chance that it’s filled with mundane tasks like mowing the lawn, fixing that leaky faucet, or planning out your meals for the week. Chances are, it leaves little time or flexibility for anything else.

Now, imagine a life where someone else handles all of that.

That’s the reality for seniors who have chosen to move into an independent living community. Let’s take a closer look at how that’s possible.

More Than a Home, It’s a Lifestyle

Moving into independent living isn’t about needing help, but instead, wanting more out of life. Designed for seniors who are perfectly capable of managing their own lives, but tired of the constant upkeep a house demands, independent living is a maintenance-free existence where your biggest decision will likely be something like whether you should join the morning yoga class or meet friends for a walk around the beautifully landscaped grounds.

Instead of spending your Saturday wrestling with a lawnmower, you could be taking a painting class, joining a book club, or hopping on the community shuttle for a day trip to a local museum.

And all those hobbies you’ve been meaning to get back to? You’ll finally have the time, and you’ll find neighbors who are just as eager to join you. This built-in social connection is a huge benefit. In fact, research shows that older adults who are socially active tend to have better cognitive function and overall well-being.

Redefining Your Golden Years

What does freedom look like to you? For some, it’s traveling without worrying about who will watch the house. For others, it’s enjoying a chef-prepared meal without having to touch a single pot or pan. An independent living community rolls all of this into one package. You get the privacy of your own apartment or cottage, complete with a kitchen if you feel like cooking, but with the amenities of a resort right outside your door.

You’re also gaining peace of mind. Many communities offer restaurant-style dining, housekeeping services, and robust wellness programs. This is important for you as you take the next step, but also for your family members, who want you to be able to get the most out of life and stay safe and surrounded by friends while doing so.

In our independent living communities, you’ll be surrounded by peers who are in the same exciting chapter of life. Studies have found that approximately 90% of residents feel that moving to a senior living community has improved their overall life satisfaction.

If you’re ready to create a life that’s rich with experiences, not chores and responsibilities, it’s time to consider independent living.

Take the Next Step Toward Freedom with Priority Life Care

My mother-in-law loved this place. She was treated great by all staff and she liked her time in the dining room. In her two years there she gained many friendships. Thank goodness the staff encouraged her to take part in activities because that's were she met many of her friends. I know many residents will remember her for years.

Las Palmas is a clean and well run facility with caring staff and good management. My mother-in-law lived there for four years. She enjoyed the social contact and didn’t feel so alone. Despite being a somewhat shy person, she quickly made many friends. She also enjoyed the meals and not having to cook. It was the right choice for her.

I am writing this on behalf of my grandma, Lorna. She moved initially to Florida from Peoria, Illinois to be closer to family. She still had a tight knit group of lifelong friends from Church that she went to kindergarten with, so was upset to leave but hopeful for finding new friendship yet be closer to family. Initially we brought her to Boca Raton/Parkland area in South Florida and she found the people to be hurtful, cliquey, and was frequently given the cold shoulder. A few months later my mother and stepfather moved up to the Palm Coast, and brought grandma with them. SHE LOVES IT. When we moved her in there were several family members of residents that said how lucky we were to have found “the best one around.” Grandma loves the food, loves the warm hearted people, is shocked by the unexpected competence and responsiveness of the staff, and couldn’t be happier in her new home. It has been about 6 months since her move and she feels closer to the people there than she could ever have hoped. There are tons of activities like chair volleyball and organized events for the residents to participate in and and really look forward to. Grandma’s highlight of her day is always her post dinner Rummikub game with the gals. Another treat is that it is so close to the space coast, so if there is a rocket launch scheduled I’ll give grandma a call and tell her to walk out her front door to watch it with her friends. Very nice place, couldn’t feel more comfortable with the hands that my grandma is in and the people who are in her life.

I’ve been living here for one month now, and the property is very well maintained and housekeeping is impeccable. The staff are extremely attentive and the dining area provides 3 delicious chef-prepared meals. There are other amenities for social interaction such as art classes, exercise and more…. The residents here are kind and considerate and look out for each other. The folks here at Las Palmas made me feel like part of their family.
