Senior housing refers to residential options designed specifically for older adults, typically aged 55 and above. These living arrangements cater to the needs and preferences of seniors, offering varying levels of assistance and care. Senior housing can encompass a range of facilities, including independent living communities, assisted living facilities, nursing homes, and memory care units.
Independent living communities provide a supportive environment for seniors who are generally self-sufficient but may benefit from amenities like social activities, transportation, and maintenance-free living. Assisted living facilities offer additional support with daily activities, including meals, personal care, and medication management. Nursing homes, or skilled nursing facilities, provide comprehensive medical care for individuals with serious health issues or disabilities.
Senior housing aims to promote a sense of community, safety, and well-being, allowing older adults to maintain autonomy while also accessing necessary services. The design and activities in these environments often emphasize social interaction, engagement, and opportunities for physical and mental wellness.
