Re-discover Freedom—Not Lose It
Retirement should never feel like a loss of independence. In fact, for many seniors, it marks the beginning of a new and enriching chapter filled with choice, comfort, and community. At Kawartha Heights Retirement Living in Peterborough, Independent Living is designed to help seniors live freely, confidently, and vibrantly—without the burdens of homeownership and daily chores slowing them down. Here, “retirement living” means empowerment, not limitation.
What Is Independent Living?
Independent Living is a lifestyle designed for seniors who are fully or mostly self-sufficient but want the conveniences and amenities of a supportive, engaging community. Residents enjoy a private suite while gaining access to dining, housekeeping, social programs, recreation, and 24/7 on-site staff. This allows seniors to maintain their independence while enjoying a simplified, more fulfilling life.
Whether you’re looking for freedom from home maintenance, more socialization, or just a safer, more secure environment, Independent Living provides the perfect balance of autonomy and support.
