For most of one’s life, a person was able to move about freely without the help of others. Suddenly, however, they need regular care, assistance from others, an accessible living environment, and other forms of support and assistance. Here are a few options.

Senior-Friendly Apartments:
These homes must meet specific requirements; they must enable seniors to go about their daily lives without obstacles. These include, for example, step-free access to the home, wheelchair-accessible bathroom and kitchen fixtures, ramps, stairlifts, slip-resistant flooring, and grab bars in the bathroom and toilet.

Seniorliving communities:
While senior-friendly apartments are typically single-unit dwellings, senior living communities consist of multiple rental or owner-occupied units, often combined with service offerings, support options, and care facilities.

Nursing homes:
Nursing homes, whether nonprofit or for-profit, provide comprehensive care by in-house staff, including the highest level of care. The ratio of licensed nursing staff to non-licensed staff is specified in the Nursing Home Staffing Regulations.
