housing for the elderly
Housing arrangements for the elderly or aged, intended to foster independent living. The housing may take the form of group homes or small apartments. It is available to the economically self-supporting but the concept includes housing for the elderly with some physical limitations. The concept should be differentiated from homes for the aged which is restricted to long-term geriatric facilities providing supervised medical and nursing services.
