Besides independent living, seniors may also want to consider assisted living, nursing homes, or a CCRC which includes every level of care. For many seniors, continuing care can be a great option, although the entry fees to these communities are usually very expensive (around $248,000 on average). 

If you plan on needing extensive medical assistance in the near future, it can be best to look into a nursing home or other skilled nursing facilities. Be sure to evaluate all the services most importance to you or your elderly loved one before ruling out an option. For those who are unprepared to move, home care is another great option, providing personal medical and non-medical assistive services for seniors wishing to remain in their own houses.
