Written by COURTNEY BRUMMER-CLARK | Feb 2, 2026 6:32:34 PM

Thinking about retirement living often brings a mix of excitement and practical questions. You may be looking for a community that feels welcoming today while also offering stability for the future.

Independent living at Immanuel is designed to give you both: a comfortable place to call home now and a smart way to prepare for whatever comes next.

Continuum of care that adapts with you

Immanuel’s continuum of care is similar to a continuing care retirement community (CCRC), offering multiple levels of support under one umbrella. At Immanuel, independent living serves as the entry point to a comprehensive continuum of care. As your needs change, you won’t have to restart your community search. Instead, you have priority access to:

  • Assisted living
  • Memory support
  • Long‑term care & skilled nursing

This approach takes the pressure off future planning. If you ever need additional support, the next level of care is readily available. For a clear overview of how each level fits together, our free downloadable resource, A Guide to Immanuel’s Continuum of Care, can help you understand your options.

What day‑to‑day life looks like

Independent living at Immanuel is built around convenience, well-being, and connection. Residents enjoy:

  • A selection of thoughtfully designed apartment homes
  • Wellness and fitness programs
  • Social, educational, and creative opportunities
  • Spiritual support through pastoral care

It’s a practical lifestyle that helps you stay active and engaged while having a plan in place for the future.

“Living here is just a life of relaxation and great caring… There are so many wonderful people here.”

– Joy, Immanuel independent living resident

Support available on your terms

At Immanuel, independent living means living on your terms. Our continuum of care is there if your health needs ever change. You won’t be moved to a higher level of care unless you want and truly need it. For many residents, knowing trusted support is available brings peace of mind and confidence, not limitations. It’s a thoughtful plan for tomorrow, while you keep the freedom you cherish today.
