senior residence

Retiree living facility

A senior residence is a housing facility designed for older adults, typically offering private apartments or rooms with varying levels of supportive services.

Unlike nursing homes, senior residences generally serve people who can live independently but may benefit from communal dining, housekeeping, or social activities: My grandmother moved to a senior residence after my grandfather died.

Also called senior living community or retirement community.
