One key option for many older adults is independent living communities, like Solista Carson, which offers a balanced lifestyle of freedom, convenience and social connection.
Why Independent Living?
Independent living communities are designed for older adults who are self-sufficient but desire a maintenance-free lifestyle and increased opportunities for social engagement. These communities often provide services such as housekeeping, dining, transportation, and recreational activities — freeing residents from the responsibilities of home maintenance and allowing them to focus on enjoying their retirement years.
Research shows that older adults living in independent communities tend to experience improved health outcomes, greater social engagement, and a higher quality of life compared to those living alone. The supportive environment and easy access to amenities help promote longevity and overall well-being.

A Lifestyle of Connection and Comfort
Independent living is more than just a housing solution — it’s a lifestyle choice that values autonomy, engagement, and comfort. Today’s communities are designed with thoughtful features and modern amenities that make residents feel welcome and at ease.
From group outings and wellness activities to community events and live entertainment, these communities offer vibrant opportunities to stay active and connected. The goal is to foster an environment where residents thrive physically, emotionally, and socially — supported by dedicated staff who genuinely care.
Experience the Difference
Choosing an independent living community is an important decision. For those considering this option, visiting a community in person can be the best way to get a feel for the lifestyle it offers. Take a tour, meet the staff and residents, and explore the programs that make each community unique.
Independent living can be the beginning of an exciting new chapter — one that prioritizes freedom, joy, and meaningful connection.
