The seniors housing and care industry provides both housing and an array of services to seniors, generally to those over the age of 75. Care segments are commonly divided into four categories: independent living, assisted living, memory care and nursing care. Nursing care has typically been provided in an institutional-style setting, though there is a growing movement toward more home-like surroundings. The other care segments are typically provided in a multifamily setting.

Seniors housing and care properties also including continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs), which typically offer all care segments, including independent living, assisted living and nursing care.
