Understanding the Difference Between Independent Living and Assisted Living at The Delaney at Lake Waco

Choosing between independent living and assisted living is a meaningful step for seniors and their families. At The Delaney at Lake Waco in Waco, Texas, we provide both options in a warm, welcoming community designed to fit your lifestyle today and adapt as your needs evolve.

What is Independent Living?

Independent living here is perfect for older adults who want to stay self-reliant while enjoying a more carefree, engaging way of life. Residents benefit from spacious, modern apartments, chef-prepared meals, wellness and fitness opportunities, and a variety of social programs. With housekeeping, maintenance, and transportation included, you’ll have more time to enjoy what matters most without the burdens of home upkeep.

What is Assisted Living?

Assisted living builds on the same vibrant environment but adds individualized support for daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and medication reminders. Our trained caregivers are available 24/7, and every apartment is equipped with safety features for added peace of mind. With wellness programs and engaging activities, residents can live with confidence while families feel reassured.
