A retirement home is a multi-residence housing facility intended for senior citizens. Other licensure terms used for this philosophy of care include Residential Care Home, Assisted Care Living Facilities, and Personal Care Homes. Retirement homes are privately owned rental accommodations for seniors who are able to manage and pay for their own care.

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. An assisted living facility may be a good choice if you need more personal care services than are feasible at home or in an independent living retirement community. 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.
