Senior community living is basically housing for citizens who have surpassed 55 years of age, yet are active, self-reliant and may or may not require assistance. Provisions are made in the form of convenient design features for seniors, access to adequate social schemes and other carefully devised suitable services.

If we see around, most of the senior citizens live in a community which provides them minimal social contact, support limited acquaintances and are often made responsible to look after their own requirements of all sorts. This need may cause frequent known/ unknown, pleasant or unpleasant contacts with other parties; which may lead to troublesome circumstances and prove a detrimental aspect to the physical and mental well-being of senior citizens in the long run.

Also, senior citizens in regards to their age associated lifestyle changes may feel misfit in the ever increasingly fast city-life culture. The idea of Senior community living and the numerous provisions provided through it, act as relevant solution to the concerns raised above. This is still a relatively new concept in our country and not that ubiquitous.
