Types of Retirement Living Communities

A retirement living community is simply a residential facility or apartment complex intended for older adults that is generally able to take care of itself; but sometimes help from outside home care services is permitted in some communities, and extra activities and socialization possibilities are provided. Retirement centres, also known as retirement centers or senior communities, can be designed to meet your specific needs. Retirement living facilities offer a wide range of opportunities to older adults including adult day care, dining and cooking programs, exercise and fitness centres, social activities, spas and beauty salons, pool access, and game rooms.

In contrast to traditional, center-based senior communities, niche retirement communities are smaller in size and geared toward a specific group of people. Some niche retirement communities are designed so senior citizens may interact in recreational activities and/or self-help groups. These communities tend to be smaller and less expensive than mainstream senior communities. Many seniors choose to live in these smaller, niche retirement communities because they provide personalised attention from experienced and trained staff members. These personalised services may include one on one counseling, social activities and events, dining services, cooking lessons, and transportation assistance.
