Life-care homes are also known as continuing care retirement communities, nursing homes, and retirement homes. Continuing care retirement communities offer different levels of care for seniors, from independent living to skilled nursing care. Nursing homes are designed to help seniors who require medical attention and assistance with activities of daily living. Retirement homes are similar to continuing care retirement communities but may not offer as many levels of care. Seniors can choose the type of life-care home that best suits their needs and preferences. These homes provide a supportive and safe environment for seniors to enjoy their golden years and receive the care they need.
