    Retirement Homes & Senior Housing

Assisted Living communities are regulated and licensed at the US state level. A retirement home is a multi-residence housing facility intended for senior citizens. Nursing Home residents include the elderly and younger adults with physical or mental disabilities. You have a close network of nearby family, friends, and neighbors. Retirement villages and retirement communities, unlike retirement homes, offer separate and autonomous homes for residents. Each state licensing agency has its own definition of the term it uses to describe assisted living. A retirement home differs from a nursing home primarily in the level of medical care given. A nursing home may be a good choice if you need a higher level of care temporarily after a hospitalization, but it’s anticipated you will be able to return to home or another facility after a period of time. You do not need to provide medical evidence that you need a minimum level of care. A nursing home is normally the highest level of care for older adults outside of a hospital. Independent living is a general name for any housing arrangement designed exclusively for seniors. A place in a retirement home can be paid for on a rental basis, like an apartment, or can be bought in perpetuity on the same basis as a condominium.
