Independent Living vs. Assisted Living in Henderson
Many Henderson families ask: "Should Mom move to independent or assisted living?" The answer depends on your parent's health, mobility, and social needs. Here's the key difference:
| Independent Living (IL) | Assisted Living (AL) | |
|---|---|---|
| ADLs Supported | None; resident is fully independent | 2+ daily living tasks (bathing, dressing, meds, toileting) |
| Staffing | Administrative; rarely medical | Licensed staff, RN on duty during business hours (often 24/7) |
| Typical Cost (Henderson) | $2,200–$3,000/mo | $3,400–$4,500/mo |
| Housing Style | Apartment or cottage; no medical equipment | Private room/suite with call button, grab bars, wider doorways |
| Who It's For | Active seniors who want community + independence | Seniors with early dementia, mobility loss, medication management needs |
| Aging in Place? | Limited; may require transition to AL later | Yes; can typically stay through mid-stage dementia |
Pro tip: Many Henderson communities offer both IL and AL under one roof (sometimes called "continuum of care"). This lets your parent start in IL and transition to AL as needs change — without uprooting. Ask about this during your tour.
