Aging-in-Place Communities
An Aging-in-Place community offers several levels of care on one campus. A resident could move into a retirement facility or assisted living facility, then utilize higher levels of nursing care when needed through personal care or nursing./rehab care. A resident’s room might change, but not his or her address.
