Feedback:
A continuum of lifestyle options (the continuing care retirement community) is available for clients of all ages, but particularly seniors. These include independent living with or without community-based services, assisted living in one's own home or home care, subacute placement, skilled nursing care, and short- or long-term care/rehabilitation in a healthcare facility. Sometimes, a single corporation owns/manages all these facilities; residents can move among them with a minimum of "red tape."
