Understanding the Difference Between Independent Living and Assisted Living at The Delaney at Parkway Lakes

Exploring senior living choices is an important step, and at The Delaney at Parkway Lakes, we make it simple by offering both independent living and assisted living within one connected community. Our goal is to provide a supportive environment in Richmond, Texas, that adjusts as your needs evolve—so you can enjoy peace of mind today and in the future.

What is Independent Living?

Independent living is designed for older adults who want freedom from home maintenance but still value a full, engaging lifestyle. Residents enjoy thoughtfully designed apartments with modern features, chef-prepared dining, social clubs, and wellness programs. With housekeeping, transportation, and utilities included, every detail is managed so you can spend your time on the people and activities that matter most.

What is Assisted Living?

Assisted living offers the same vibrant setting while adding daily support tailored to each resident’s needs. From help with bathing and dressing to medication reminders and mobility support, our trained staff is available around the clock. Every residence includes built-in safety features, and wellness oversight ensures residents and families feel confident about care.
