Independent Living

We’re all about enjoying retirement. In fact, we have found that after moving in and getting settled, many of our residents say they wish they had moved in sooner. That’s because independent living the Avamere way is all about you. Enjoy your hobbies, discover a new passion, make friends, and become part of our Avamere family in an active, vibrant independent living community. Let us handle the small, everyday details like housekeeping and maintenance while you make the most of every moment. Decide now that you’re ready to make life just a little easier. Decide now to live your life enhanced.
