FAQ

What’s the difference between ‘retirement living’ and ‘assisted living’?

Retirement living is largely what it the name suggests – it’s a lifestyle wherein one is retired. While this individual may require certain changes to their home or location in order to continue to live independently, they are largely able to live comfortably on their own or with a partner.

Assisted living is generally a term for a retirement home that provides for individuals who require a more extensive level of care and supervision. They often provide nursing, care assistance, and other services for individuals who have difficulty with day to day care, or are otherwise unable to remain living on their own.

Between these two definitions, Anchor Living is a retirement living space for active seniors looking to live to their fullest for the third act of their life.
