A retirement home differs from a nursing home primarily in the level of medical care given. Nursing Home residents include the elderly and younger adults with physical or mental disabilities. Retirement homes are privately owned rental accommodations for seniors who are able to manage and pay for their own care. Retirement homes are also called retirement residences.
