Services: This type of senior housing is planned, designed, and managed with the needs of elder persons in mind. These housing arrangements offer an enriched lifestyle filled with recreational, educational, and social activities. Although personal care services are usually not provided, it is common for meals, housekeeping, transportation, and planned social activities to be offered. These services may be optional, however living among their peers and having certain housing features that are conducive to comfort, security and safety are inherent. Some more active senior apartment and retirement communities offer abundant recreational activities, which create a stimulating lifestyle. Amenities often include exercise facilities, activity rooms, libraries, pools and spas, golf, tennis, beauty shops, and gardens.
Housing: Senior apartment complexes, condos and congregate senior housing communities vary in size and amenities. Many offer studio, one, two and three bedroom floor plans with additional safety features. Although the living quarters usually include a kitchen, meals may be served in a large congregate dining room restaurant style in some of these senior communities. Independent Living Communities can be free standing or exist as part of Assisted Living or Continuing Care Communities that are described later.
Payment Method: Rents and ownership options vary according to location, size of living quarters, amenities, and services offered, but most accept private payment methods only. In some states there is assistance with payment, and federal government subsidies enable some facilities to serve low-income individuals.
