Retirement community

A retirement community is a place where older people can live. It is a place where all the people who live there are older, usually 55 years old or older. This is a special kind of community designed to make life easier and more enjoyable for older people. People in a retirement community usually have their own homes or apartments, but they can also share larger homes or apartments together. They all share access to resources like transportation, health care, entertainment and social activities, and help with everyday tasks like cooking, cleaning, and shopping. Retirement communities also provide a safe, secure, and supportive environment for their residents.
