Independent living is a general name for any housing arrangement designed exclusively for seniors. Assisted living comes by many names, such as residential care, board and care, or group homes. Retirement villages and retirement communities, unlike retirement homes, offer separate and autonomous homes for residents. An assisted living facility may be a good choice if you don’t need the round-the-clock medical care and supervision of a nursing home. Assisted living residences or assisted living facilities provide supervision or assistance with activities of daily living.
