Independent Living

Independent Living at Bethlen

Our one-level, maintenance-free cottages give you the opportunity to enjoy retirement to its fullest. Our residents can say goodbye to labor intensive chores like grass mowing or snow shoveling, so they may have more time for the activities they enjoy. Bethlen inspires an active lifestyle where you can engage with other seniors in our tight-knit community and make new friends with similar interests. The seamless transition from your home to Bethlen Communities Cottages affords our residents peace of mind and the support needed to thrive.

Choosing to look for senior living before a crisis situation means you have plenty of time to tour and explore senior communities in your desired location. You have the time to ask questions and explore activities and amenities. This additional time will give you the opportunity to see if you feel comfortable in the community, and it allows you to have more control over the decision you make.
