Question

Sydney Davis · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : B, Explanation :  This living situation is best described as a Retirement community, which is designed for older adults who are generally able to care for themselves. The description fits because it mentions age qualification, elder-friendly dwellings, and included amenities like home maintenance and recreational facilities, but does not include medical or nursing care, distinguishing it from assisted living facilities or continuing care retirement communities.
