There are different types of homes for seniors and the elderly, with different types of services depending on their purpose, licensing, and certifications. Supported senior living settings provide limited services such as check-ins, help with cleaning, and meals while providing access to emergency services through their help desks. There are also group homes for the elderly which, in addition to the above, provide medication dispensing and personal cares. Nursing homes are a more institutional type of facility concentrating on medical care for those with advanced needs.

Where do old people in community live?

The luckiest elderly people are often able to remain in their homes and hire people to do any work needed or family may help and they may need nursing care while at home. Some elderly people will have to go into nursing homes because there is no one in the family that can properly look after them or the elderly person is far too ill to be looked after by family; other elderly people live in condos; may still travel and are active in the community by volunteering. It is a stigmatism that the elderly are of no use in the community or able to look after themselves with some dignity.
