Finding decent and affordable housing is one of the most critical issues facing older Americans today.  Although many seniors are staying in their own homes longer (or downsizing to smaller homes, townhouses or apartments), thousands will eventually need to move into a form of senior housing.

Independent Living
Independent Living covers a broad range of housing options for older persons who are functionally and socially independent most of the time.  Independent Living locations are not regulated except by local authorities.
