The usual pattern is that each person or couple in the home has an apartment-style room or suite of rooms. Additional facilities are provided within the building. Often this includes facilities for meals, gathering, recreation, and some form of health or hospice care. The level of facilities varies enormously. 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.

There are many types of retirement and nursing situations and facilities available for the elderly and they are chosen for various reasons. Senior mobile home parks are of course for independent seniors who may want to move out of a larger home with too many rooms and too much work to something more compact that requires less maintenance.
