Retirement facilities, also known as retirement communities, senior living communities, or senior apartments, offer various options for seniors looking for a comfortable and safe place to live. Assisted living, independent living, nursing homes, memory care, and continuing care retirement communities are some of the synonyms for retirement facilities. Assisted living facilities provide assistance to seniors with daily living tasks such as bathing, grooming, and medication management. Independent living communities cater to those who are physically fit and able to live on their own. Nursing homes provide long-term medical care, while memory care facilities offer specialized care for those with dementia or Alzheimer's disease. Continuing care retirement communities offer a range of housing options for seniors, from independent living to skilled nursing care, all in one location.
