Choosing Elder Housing and Residential Care
Many seniors remain in their houses past the age of 65. In fact, many elderly housing options today are independent. There are nursing homes and other facilities, such as Alzheimer’s disease facilities, that can help elders get the care they need. Independent living, assisted living and nursing home care are the three basic types of senior housing.
