What are the different types of senior living accommodations?

Senior living accommodations come in a variety of styles and formats to meet the differing needs of older adults. The types of senior living accommodations include independent living communities, assisted living facilities, memory care communities, skilled nursing facilities, continuing care retirement communities, and respite care. Independent living communities are for older adults who do not require assistance with daily living but want access to social activities and amenities. Assisted living facilities offer support with daily activities such as dressing, bathing, and medication management. Memory care communities are for seniors with Alzheimer’s or dementia. Skilled nursing facilities provide 24-hour medical care and rehabilitation. Continuing care retirement communities provide multiple levels of care in one location. Respite care offers short-term stays for seniors who need a break from their usual caregivers.
