What retirement communities includes in Pennsylvania
Retirement communities offer full-service living for independent older adults, typically with dining, activities, and maintenance handled for you.
These are housing communities rather than licensed care facilities, but many are paired with a licensed Personal Care Home or Assisted Living Residence wing, or a CCRC continuum, on the same campus. A typical monthly range is $2,800 to $4,600 a month.
When you visit, look past the lobby and check these:
- whether there is a care continuum if health needs increase
- the fee structure and what services are bundled
- the community's financial stability and occupancy
