Independent and Supported Living Communities

Senior adult or retirement communities are those with congregate housing intended specifically for older occupants. These communities feature single homes and/or apartments providing several services, which may include meals in a central location, housekeeping, a pool, transportation and social activities. They may or may not offer healthcare services. We have listed only some of these communities. For further assistance, contact the chamber of commerce in the area you choose for relocation (see our Area Overview section for a list of chambers) or one of the government agencies listed.
