Enjoy independent living plus the support you (may) need – often for less than the cost of assisted living.

Residents who choose Holiday by Atria can continue to maintain their independent lifestyle while being able to select care providers who can meet their individualized needs. In some cases this approach is more cost effective than living in an assisted living community.



Independent living communities like Holiday are designed for older adults who can live on their own with minimal support. While Holiday doesn’t provide or administer care, we do offer a safe, social, maintenance-free lifestyle. Residents can choose their own provider to assist them with any care needs or use an onsite provider if a third-party provider is leasing space in a Holiday by Atria community.



By choosing your own care providers, you only pay for the services you need. And, if a community is leasing space to a therapy provider you can also receive support like physical and occupational therapies without leaving the community if you choose to use that third-party provider. This approach offers a living option that evolves with your needs to help you maintain your lifestyle comfortably.



The advantages of independent living at Holiday




Customized “a la carte” services

Holiday does not arrange for or provide care services. However, third-party providers are often located on-site, which provide residents access to a wide range of services without having to leave the community if they choose to use those third-party providers. Residents are also free to choose their own outside care provider.



Third-party care services available vary by location. Find a Holiday community near you to see which providers are available on-site or nearby.




Residents who decide to engage a third-party care provider can typically receive support in the following areas:


Non-clinical care

Often called personal care, custodial care or homemaker services.


  • Assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) like bathing and getting dressed
  • Escorting to and from meals and activities
  • Medication reminders
  • Wellness/safety checks
  • Incontinence support



Skilled medical care

Medical services provided to treat a chronic condition or to recover from illness, injury or surgery.


  • Skilled nursing
  • Rehabilitation care
  • Medication management
  • Psychiatric therapy
  • Wound care
  • Pain management
  • Infusion therapy
  • Medical social work



Physical, occupational and speech therapies

Professionals focused on helping a person regain their mobility, the ability to conduct daily activities independently and communicate effectively.



Personal control and independence

At Holiday, our primary goal is to help older adults live independently, longer.



Holiday by Atria residents who decide to hire support services can tailor the services to their needs, whether it is to regain or maintain their strength and mobility after a hospital stay or illness or discontinue services once they’re back on their feet.



Residents decide who provides what support, when, and at what cost. They can switch caregivers and add or subtract services, putting them in the driver’s seat of their health and well-being.




Safety and security

The family home is familiar but may not be the safest option as you age. Climbing stairs, getting in and out of the bathtub and navigating doorways using a walker or wheelchair may become difficult.

In addition to welcoming third-party care providers, Holiday independent living communities are purposefully created to make life safer and more comfortable for older adults. Features include:


  • 24/7 emergency medical and personal support through the Lively Mobile Plus device
  • Elevators
  • Spacious, wheelchair-accessible apartments and common spaces
  • Step-in showers with grab bars
  • Slip-proof flooring
  • Smoke alarms and sprinkler systems
  • Locked mailboxes
  • Accessible door handles and cabinet pulls



Social connection

At Holiday, there’s a friendly face around every corner. Independent living offers a vibrant social setting with daily opportunities to connect and engage, from sharing meals to joining scheduled group activities and events.



After all, having friends and neighbors close by can prevent loneliness and isolation, conditions that increase the risk of a range of physical and mental health issues.




Cost-effective option

Independent living at Holiday offers a safe, social, carefree lifestyle with the option to add customizable “a la carte” care options as needed. Residents pay only for the services they need.



Use our handy cost calculator to find out if independent living at Holiday with optional care services is a better value for you.



As you can see, independent living plus optional care services may provide you with greater value, peace of mind, and a worry-free retirement setting to safely age in place.
