The facility has all levels of care but say they are not responsible for independent residents.

Find Care & Housing
When my parents lived in an Independent Senior Living building and mom got sick, I could hire a caregiver for her. I really dont understand your question.

No they aren't responsible because friend lives as an independent person. Can they not be evaluated by the Community to see if they need a higher level of care? Maybe its time for assisted living otherwise they need to pay for services she now needs. She must have a contract with this Community. Do they have family? If so, they need to get involved.

I really don't know the rules around Independent Living, but basically anyone there is expected to "be able to live independently".

What sort of help is it that you are looking for?
You say this this is for a friend; can you tell us why your friend cannot seek his or her own help?

We need much more information in order to be able to answer you, but I will tell you that if you see someone in a crisis, and unable to act for her own/his own protection, I would make a call to APS saying you need assessment for a Senior at risk.

If this friend is no longer "independent" then they will have to move into the assisted living part of this facility and of course pay a lot more for the care they now require.
Talk to whoever is in charge to get the ball rolling for this friend.
