A retirement community brings together older adults in a safe, convenient campus designed for their needs. Individuals usually have a choice in apartment or townhouse floor plans, as well as an array of other services. Often this includes home maintenance, security monitoring and housekeeping.
In addition, retirement communities encourage whole-person wellness, including amenities that support physical, social and intellectual dimensions. For example, communities may offer a robust calendar of social events and activities. Some may also provide key services such as healthcare, dining, transportation, a fitness center, clubhouse and more.
