Senior apartment
A senior apartment, as the name suggests, is an apartment specifically adapted to the needs of older people. This applies not only to the apartment itself, but also to the surrounding area.
Senior citizens' shared apartment
What works for students also works for seniors: shared living. People in a similar phase of life live together. This is particularly beneficial for seniors with low incomes. The residents share costs such as rent, utilities, and repairs. Everyone has their own room, and they share the kitchen and bathroom. The roommates support each other, and someone is always there in case of emergency. This allows seniors to continue living independently without being alone.
Assisted living
In assisted living, seniors can continue to maintain their own household while benefiting from support services. Someone is always available to help, both with household tasks and in emergencies. The level of support provided depends on the individual's independence. Those who can still manage their daily lives largely on their own require minimal assistance. However, should certain tasks become more difficult over time, the level of support is adjusted accordingly. Here, too, it is possible to live alone or in a shared apartment.
Multigenerational homes
Living under one roof was commonplace in the past. Today, more and more people are recognizing the advantages, and housing projects where multiple generations live together and support each other are becoming increasingly popular again.
Living abroad
Emigrating in retirement and enjoying one's golden years in the southern sun is a lifelong dream for many. However, the typical destinations are often not necessarily suitable for seniors.
Apartment swap
If your current apartment has simply become too large, or you'd like to move closer to your children, then a home swap could be an interesting option for you. This way, you kill two birds with one stone: you find the perfect successor for your property and can move into your new home immediately.
