What’s included in independent senior living? It’s one of the first questions seniors and their families ask when exploring retirement communities in Medford, Oregon, and for good reason.
Independent living isn’t about giving up independence. It’s about gaining freedom, connection, and comfort—without the work of cooking, cleaning, or home maintenance. At Weatherly Inn, we offer independent living for seniors who want to spend their time doing what they love, in a place that feels like home.
If you’re thinking about making a move—or helping a loved one figure out their next step—here’s what you can expect from our community.
What Is Independent Senior Living?
Independent senior living means living in a private apartment within a vibrant, maintenance-free community without needing daily personal care.
At Weatherly Inn, that could mean starting your day with coffee and conversation at our Poplar Café, enjoying an afternoon game of Bunko with friends, or curling up next to the fireplace with your pet and a good book.

What’s Not Included?
Independent living does not include personal care services like:

- On-site nursing care
Assisted living or memory care communities typically offer these services. At Weatherly Inn, we focus exclusively on independent living for seniors who are living well independently but appreciate extra comfort and community.
What Should You Ask When Touring a Community?
When you visit any independent senior living community, be sure to ask:
- Are meals included, and how are they served?
- Are pets welcome?
- What’s included in the monthly rate?
- What activities or social programs are available?
- What happens if my needs change in the future?
We invite you to attend a social hour at Weatherly Inn, walk the halls, meet the team, and experience the difference.
Why These Services Matter
You might be able to live independently, but do you want to keep doing it all?
