Additional Housing Options
Active Adult Communities (55+ Communities)
Housing developments restricted to residents typically age 55 and older. Usually include single-family homes, condos, or apartments with amenities such as clubhouses, pools, fitness centers, and social activities. Designed for independent, active seniors who do not need assistance with daily living.
Independent Living Communities
Apartment or cottage-style communities for seniors who can live independently but want a maintenance-free lifestyle. Often include services like housekeeping, transportation, dining, and social activities. No regular medical care or daily personal assistance is provided.
Assisted Living
Designed for seniors who need help with daily activities (ADLs) such as bathing, dressing, medication reminders, or meal preparation. Residents usually have their own private apartment but receive assistance from staff as needed. Provides a balance of independence and support.
Memory Care
Specialized housing for seniors with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, or other cognitive impairments. Offers secure environments, specially trained staff, and structured activities designed to support memory and reduce confusion.
Nursing Homes / Skilled Nursing Facilities
Provide 24-hour medical supervision and nursing care. Best for seniors with serious health conditions, disabilities, or those recovering from surgery or illness. Medical professionals such as nurses and therapists are available on-site.
Continuing Care Retirement Communities / Life Plan Communities
Large communities that provide multiple levels of care in one location. Typically include independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing. Residents can transition between levels of care as their needs change without moving to a new community.
Personal Care Homes / Residential Care Homes
Smaller residential settings that provide help with daily living tasks, meals, and supervision. Usually, more home-like and intimate than large assisted living facilities.
Affordable Senior Housing
Income-restricted housing designed for low- to moderate-income seniors. Residents live independently in apartments with reduced rent; services vary by property.
