Congregate
Housing
This type of housing is basically the same as a type of housing called Multi-Unit
Assisted Housing With Services . Generally, congregate housing refers
to an apartment complex exclusively for older adults where supportive services
are available, including the opportunity for residents to have at least one
meal a day in a central dining area. Services vary from facility to facility.
Some may have a part-time social worker on staff to help arrange needed services;
some may arrange for local providers of services to visit on a limited basis.
This type of housing may be either subsidized or private pay. For some residents,
this type of housing does represent Independent Living. Services are available
but do not have to be used. Residents who live in congregate housing that
offers a multitude of services of which they take advantage, could be identified
as living in a "Multi-Unit Assisted Housing With Services" facility which
is congregate housing as well.
