Assisted Living or Independent Living: What’s The Difference?
When you’re looking for retirement living in Cincinnati, Ohio, you may have seen the terms assisted living and independent living side by side. But what is the difference between these two, and how does Silverfern bring them together in a way that supports you or your loved ones? That’s what we’re here to answer so that you know the difference between these two services and how we can support you, your family, and your friends.
What Is Assisted Living?
Assisted living is a 55+ community living option for adults who don’t need the intensive care of a nursing home but may need some support with daily tasks. At Silverfer, this means getting support with:
- Meals: Silverfern offers two meals every day for our residents and community members, but with assisted living, you can get additional support cooking meals inside your apartment.
- Medication: Sometimes, remembering medication can be tricky, but at Silverfern, our assisted living team can help you take all necessary medication to keep you healthy and happy.
- Daily Activities: We also offer support with many other daily activities. Just talk to our team to find the support you or your loved ones need from us, and we’ll be happy to accommodate you!

What Is Independent Living?

- Dining Options: Our Garden Haus Bistro prepares two meals a day for all Silverfern residents, but we also have the Tailgate 42 Sports Bar for drinks and games.
- Exercise: Our indoor pool, dance studio, and gym all give you options for staying active year-round.
