The housing is friendlier to older adults, more compact, with easier navigation and assistance in outside maintenance. Assisted living comes by many names, such as residential care, board and care, or group homes. A retirement home is a multi-residence housing facility intended for senior citizens. Some facilities provide minor help with medications as well. Retirement homes are also called retirement residences.
