A continuing care community refers to a facility that offers a comprehensive range of healthcare services to individuals who require round-the-clock care. There are various synonyms for this term, such as a life care community, senior living community, assisted living facility, retirement community, and residential care community. A life care community encompasses a broad range of services, including independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing care. Senior living communities, on the other hand, cater to the needs of elderly residents who require different levels of care and support.

Finally, residential care communities provide a safe and supportive environment for adults who require specialized care and supervision.
