life care

Senior living services

Life care refers to a type of residential arrangement, typically for elderly people, that guarantees housing, services, and healthcare for the remainder of a resident's life in exchange for an entrance fee and monthly payments.

A life care community or facility provides progressive levels of assistance—from independent living through skilled nursing—as residents' needs change: They moved into a life care community after Dad's stroke.

The term also appears in legal contexts for long-term care planning.
