Independent living is for people who can take care of themselves and includes residing in one's own home or apartment, a retirement community, or independent living apartments.
Congregate Care
Congregate care is similar to independent living, but features a community environment, with one or more meals per day prepared and served in a community dining room. Many other services and amenities may be provided such as transportation, pools, a convenience store, bank, barber/beauty shop, resident laundry, housekeeping, and security.

Adult day care programs provide meals and care services in a community setting during the day while a caregiver needs time off or must work.
Out-patient Therapy
