Independent Living at its Best

We all have seen a parent, grandparent or loved one who had to move out of their home because they just could not live on their own for a reason or another.

They stayed in their house as long as they could for fear of losing their independence, afraid of entering a nursing home, or losing their driver’s license and independence.

And though we know it is best for them, it is often heartbreaking and conflicting to have to intervene.

Fortunately, there is an alternative to losing that independence: Heatherwood Independent Living at Kings Way, in Yarmouthport, Cape Cod.

Here you can own your own condo, but do not need to do anything to it. You can go everywhere you want without a driver’s license: with the shuttle’s chauffeur service. You can cook in your own kitchen, but you do not have to because the monthly condo fee includes at least 20 meals/month at the “country club-like” cafeteria/restaurant, just an elevator floor away! You can walk without fear of cars, because you are surrounded by Kings Way golf course and numerous paved walking paths. Your loved ones can rest assured you are safe at all time, because everyone has their own personal portable emergency alert device. You can exercise indoors in group classes or alone or you can swim in one of the outdoor pools. You can get your hair done at the on-site hair salon or barbershop, work on a project in the workshop room, grab a new book in the library, watch a movie in the theatre room, meet with friends in one of many living rooms or dens… There are so many activities every day and it is so beautiful that it feels like a luxury hotel resort! The only thing you cannot do: get bored! Heatherwood really offers all the services on site so its residents can maintain their independence!
