There are several 'levels',,,,
My Husband and I are in our 70s now.
First we lived in an 'over 55 active community',,,, had dances and classes activities of all sorts and a swimming pool and a community center. They had an activity director. We owned a ground set manufactured home but leased the land. Now we are in Senior apartments,,,, it is a big apartment building with a dining room, there's a library, a theater, a lounge, a beauty shop, lots of small rooms to play games and cards. They also have an activity director here. Still ahead is assisted living (this is more the nursing home scenario) then possibly Memory care.
We're in the Metro Phoenix area with lots of old folks

on edit: The first place we could have whatever was available in our area and what we wanted to pay for. Now the Senior Apartments have Wifi and the phones can work as a hot spot if the internet is down,,,, The closest Assisted Living has Wifi,,,,, beyond that I don't know.
