We have these things around my area that they call retirement villages. It's basically an apartment complex and community center, just for seniors. They're allowed to do whatever they want(go to Mcdonalds, ballgame, skydiving, etc.), but they can also get assistance if they wish, and they are around their peers. It's basically the same concept as assisted living, but it allows them to keep their independence. I volunteered at one of them for a weekend, and it seemed to me that most of the folks there loved it.
