A nursing home is normally the highest level of care for older adults outside of a hospital. The usual retirement home pattern is that each person or couple in the home has an apartment-style room or suite of rooms.

The housing is friendlier to older adults, more compact, with easier navigation and assistance in outside maintenance.

Nursing Home residents in a skilled nursing facility may also receive physical, occupational, and other rehabilitative therapies following an accident or illness. Retirement villages and retirement communities, unlike retirement homes, offer separate and autonomous homes for residents. Assisted living residences or assisted living facilities provide supervision or assistance with coordination of services by outside health careproviders.
