Retirement Communities Directory
Retirement communties and senior housing are often built in warm climates, and are common in Arizona, and Florida but are increasingly being built in and around major cities in cold climates too. Trends in senior housing and retirement lifestyles include three broad categories of retirement communities:
 ACTIVE communities (all residential units, no longterm healthcare facilities)
ACTIVE/SUPPORTIVE communities (a combination of residential and healthcare facilities - also known as "continuing care retirement communities")
SUPPORTIVE communities (all longterm healthcare units, like assisted living and nursing care), with the most assistive technology products and rehabilitation equipment to help seniors achieve a higher quality of life.
In seeking the best retirement destination, you may want to consider college towns and college-linked retirement communities. You may also want to compare overall tax burden in each state, including taxes on retirement income, property taxes, senior exemptions and sales taxes.
