4. Introduction
• A place in a retirement home can be paid for
on a rental basis, like an apartment, or can be
bought in perpetuity on the same basis as a
condominium.

home primarily in the level of medical care
given. Retirement communities, unlike
retirement homes, offer separate and
autonomous homes for residents.
