What to Look for in a Retirement Community

• Amenities, such as clubhouses, pools, golf courses, and health centers
• Social clubs and activities
• Housing types and costs
• Distance from family, friends, and healthcare providers

Age-restricted communities set minimum age requirements for residents. Confirm the requirements with each community before you decide.
