FAQ
What Are Independent Living Skills for Seniors?
At Calligraphy Westwood Village, independent living means choosing how to spend your day.
Our independent living residents generally don't require daily help, such as support when getting dressed. For that, you'll want to choose our assisted living option. However, it will include conveniences that relieve residents of chores from retirement, such as housekeeping services.
What Are the Downsides of Living in a Retirement Village?
One of the biggest challenges seniors face when moving to a retirement village is the lifestyle adjustment. You may come from a family home that you have managed and overseen for decades, which can make it harder to ask for help or accept support.
However, our community spirit and commitment to social activities make it easier for residents to settle and adjust to retirement life.

In our community, Savour Cuisine gives residents access to three fantastic on-site venues. You'll find:

Our dining is a sociable destination for our residents. And it combines the style, food quality, and flair you'd expect from a high-end restaurant.
