Retirement communities are areas in the country that are specifically designed and built with seniors in mind. There are many different places that cater to the various needs and preferences of the people who live there. There are condominium units that are housed in buildings which may be clustered in one spot or there are also some actual houses that are built to the standard of their buyers.
The other class of communities, the age-targeted retirement community, is also governed by the HUD regulations. An age-targeted retirement community is designed for residents over the age of 55 who have no children or minors in their care. The regulations do not exclude young people and grandchildren from visiting; they are welcome, but cannot become permanent residents. The leisure, or resort, active retirement community will have a variety of onsite facilities for the use of its residents. This type of active retirement community emphasizes the social aspect of retirement, and will have fitness facilities, swimming pools and spas, tennis or even handball courts, and an active social calendar.
An active retirement community enables its residents to live as independently as their capabilities allow, while supplying them with every possible amenity. An active retirement community can consist of apartments, town homes or duplexes, or single family residences.
In many cases, CCTV cameras and other monitoring devices may be installed in public places. In private areas, the permission of the affected residents may be needed to install the CCTV cameras and other monitoring devices. Apart from the safety of the individuals who live in the place, another benefit that is also quite obvious is the companionship that comes with living in a community that houses people of the same ages and similar preferences. Some senior citizens like to mingle with people who share the same interests and health as they do.
It is important to note how the residents act and behave. If they appear engaged, comfortable, and happy when interacting with the staff and fellow residents, then they must be getting the care and attention they deserve.
