retirement village

Elderly housing complex

A retirement village is a residential community designed for older adults, typically offering independent living units along with shared amenities and services.

Unlike nursing homes, retirement villages cater to residents who can largely care for themselves but want age-appropriate housing and social opportunities: My parents moved to a retirement village after they sold the house.
