Active adult living communities are designed for older adults who want to maintain an active lifestyle. These communities o er activities such as tness programs and social events. Assisted-living communities specialize in providing care and supervision. These facilities frequently o er a full range of amenities as well as limited medical assistance. Hospice care is intended to relieve symptoms and su ering associated with a terminal illness in those who have been given six months or less to live. The patient must choose to forgo further curative treatment. Independent-living communities cater to older adults with limited care needs. Most include amenities, such as tness programs, housekeeping and communal meals. Memory care facilities specialize in providing care to seniors with Alzheimer’s, dementia and other cognitive issues. Sta members are trained to help residents manage these diseases. Nursing home/skilled nursing facilities provide care to those with illnesses or mental conditions requiring full- time monitoring and medical care.
