Information About

Retirement Home




A retirement home is a multi-residence housing facility intended for the Elderly . The usual pattern is that each person or couple in the home has an Apartment -style room or suite of rooms. Additional facilities are provided within the building. Often this includes facilities for meals, gathering, recreation, and some form of Health or Hospice Care . The level of facilities varies enormously. A place in a retirement home can be paid for on a Rental basis, like an apartment, or can be bought in perpetuity on the same basis as a Condominium .

A retirement home differs from a Nursing Home primarily in the level of medical care given. Retirement Village s and Retirement Communities , unlike retirement homes, offer separate and autonomous homes for residents.
