WHAT IS A RETIREMENT CENTER?

Retirement Centers serve seniors who are used to living an active, independent lifestyle, and are in good health. Residents usually have private or semi-private living quarters with centralized dining services and living spaces.

Many retirement centers offer social interaction, and support. They offer recreational activities, transportation, shopping excursions, spiritual and faith-based programs, and personal care services.

Insurance may cover a portion of the living expenses incurred at a retirement center, you should definitely check ahead of time with your individual insurance plan.
