WHAT TYPES OF RESIDENCES ARE THERE?
Personal care residences can range from a purpose-built, high-rise apartment complex to a converted Victorian home to a renovated school. They may be freestanding or housed with other options, such as independent living or nursing care. There is no single blueprint, because consumers’ preferences and needs vary widely. Most residences have between 25 and 120 units, varying in size from one room to a full apartment. They may be operated by nonprofit or for-profit companies.
