How The Retirement Community Industry Has Evolved
Over Time
2

• Retirement communities have gone beyond the
  nursing homes of the yesteryear's. Weve listed
  what you can expect from the todays retirement
  community industry.
• There was a time when seniors only had nursing
  homes or old age homes to look at after
  retirement. Over the years, the retirement
  community has gone beyond these nursing homes.
  Today the industry has evolved into levels and
  types of designated senior living
  arrangements that are covered by the category of
  senior housing. Unlike nursing homes, modern
  retirement living facilities have everything to
  let the seniors live a wonderful life.
• So are todays senior living facilities
  different from their yesteryears counterparts?
• Lets have a look

Different Types of Accommodation Have Been
Introduced

• Retirement living communities like assisted
  living are designed for seniors who are still
  active. They provide accommodations of their
  choice which ranges from regular apartment
  complexes to a single room facility. Such choices
  in accommodation werent thought of for a budget
  conscious seniors decades ago.
• The living spaces are designed according to
  the convenience of the seniors. Most assisted
  living communities have cupboards, high toilets
  and shower seats to support seniors daily
  activities. Walkers and wheelchairs are basic
  services available also.

Availability of Basic to Luxury Services

• Nowadays, independent living facilities offer
  many amenities and services according to the
  budget and needs of seniors. Meals and
  housekeeping are the most basic services. The
  other services include satellite TV, internet, Wi
  Fi access, dementia care, gyms and social
  interaction session. In fact, some assisted
  living facilities have started providing financial
  banking to its residents. You can also find
  transportation at some facilities. Many senior
  living communities provide beauty/nail salons,
  barber shops, and gardens with walking paths to
  provide a nice clean outdoor environment for the
  residents to enjoy.

Role of Technology Has Become Important

• Digitalization of senior living facilities
  has been one of the key transformations in recent
  years. It not only streamlines the admin tasks,
  but also improves the life of residents. Seniors
  are encouraged to use devices like iPad and
  laptop. More than 70 of senior living facilities
  in the nation own automated equipment, electronic
  medical records and point of care. This equipment
  enhances security and efficiency in taking care
  of residents health information.

It Has Become More Open Towards Sexual
Orientation and Religion

• There has been rise in religious affiliated
  communities and social groups for LGBTQ residents
  over the past 10 years. These communities are
  liberal towards the residents who dont live by
  the same values, they do offer an accepting and
  enriching atmosphere where like-minded adults can
  develop a cordial relationships and feel
  comfortable.
• Over the years the retirement community
  industry have changed for the better. These
  changes are welcome as long as they cater to
  the needs of the seniors.
