Glossary
This guide briefly defines terms you might encounter in MOAA’s commu- nity listings.
Disclaimer: These are broad defini- tions. Individual communities might interpret these terms differently. Contact a community for its specific definition.
55-PLUS COMMUNITIES allow seniors to live among those who are in the same age range. Members of these communities may be retired or not yet retired, and they generally live active lifestyles. Living in a 55-plus community gives residents access to many amenities, such as recre- ational facilities, activity centers, and golf courses.
ACTIVE ADULTS/ACTIVE SENIORS are those 55 and older who are still healthy enough to enjoy independent lifestyles filled with physical, as well as social, activities. These seniors might elect to live in active-adult communities where they can socialize with other active seniors, play sports, and receive any health care services they need.
ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE CARE AND DEMENTIA CARE can be too complicated and time-consuming for family members to tackle alone, so patients often are admitted into nursing homes or assisted-living fa- cilities for care. Alzheimer’s disease, which affects more than 5 million people nationwide, is the most com- mon form of dementia. Treatment for dementia includes helping patients with their daily needs, like dressing and bathing, as well as scheduling regular activities patients will enjoy (e.g., gardening, painting, and going for walks).
ASSISTED LIVING allows seniors to get the help they need with day-to-day activities while still maintaining some independence. These facilities offer residents help with daily activities such as groom- ing, getting dressed, bathing, using the restroom, and taking prescribed medications. Assisted-living fa-
