Frequently Asked Questions
Independent living is designed for active adults 55 and up who are self-sufficient, but want to live in a community with amenities and services that enhance their lifestyle.
It differs from assisted living, which provides more comprehensive care and support.
Most independent living communities are designed for seniors, typically those aged 55 and older. The age requirements can vary, so it’s important to check with the specific communities you are interested in.
All our communities are month-to-month contracts with no long-term commitments or large down payments.
The costs for independent living vary based on location, amenities, and services.
Traditional insurance and Medicare generally do not cover these costs, as they are lifestyle choices rather than medical necessities.
While independent living focuses on self-sufficiency, our communities offer 24/7 licensed nursing available on-site and an assisted living lifestyle, so our residents can age in place and receive care if their needs change.

What People Are Saying
“My dad has been an Aarondale resident for more than three years. The nursing staff
is top-notch. They truly care about my dad and look out for him 24/7. Aarondale’s
modest size allows for a more personal approach with its residents.”
L.V., Aarondale Family Member
“2 1/2 years ago, my sisters and I felt it was time for my mother to move to an
assisted-living facility We visited 15 different properties in the Virginia, Maryland, DC
area. We felt that Aarondale would be a great fit. It’s not too big. It’s not too small. It
has a cozy homie feel. The staff are warm and thoughtful. The food is terrific. There
are so many activities that there were days which my mother has told me not to
come by…. She was too busy. How wonderful! It is so nice that she can spend her
twilight years in such a caring and fun environment.”
