Independent living
Many independent living communities will accept seniors who primarily rely on Social Security and provide them with housing subsidies from various sources. These environments are like apartments with some of the amenities of more medically advanced senior housing, allowing Social Security recipients to remain independent for longer.
Assisted living
Many assisted living facilities can also cater to Social Security recipients. Assisted living offers more advanced assistance than independent living, but seniors still have their own units in which they make their own decisions about how to spend their lives. These facilities offer more personalized care, but seniors must still be mostly able to live on their own.
