In short: Independent living lets older people have their own home with support available. Options include retirement flats and sheltered housing (often with a warden or alarm), extra care housing with on-site care services, and retirement villages with communal facilities. These differ from care homes, where personal care is provided around the clock. Check service charges, any "event fees" (exit or transfer fees payable on resale), resale rules and care costs. Selling a family home to move can release equity. Fraser Bond can value and sell the home you're leaving.

Option	Support level
Retirement flat	Low: alarm, manager
