Independent Living
-
I’m somewhat private. Do I have to take part in group activities?
-
You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to here. While you may find you enjoy the great company, you’re free to live your life how you see fit—from flexible dining hours and enjoying visits from friends and family, to bringing your own car if you care to. We’re here to help facilitate what you want to do.

I am still working and I love it! Can I still live in a retirement community?
-
You can! There are a number of people happily employed who live in Front Porch communities. And there are those who put their energy into volunteering—both at home and in the greater community.

-
I like the idea of retirement living, but I really want to stay active. What are the options?
-
If slowing down isn’t part of your plan, that’s just fine. Here, you’ll find a full calendar of events, activities, outings, and more. Add to that the exercise classes, lifelong learning opportunities, and resident-led clubs to take part in, and the real challenge is deciding how to fit it all in.
