Older adults who move into senior living communities experience better health outcomes compared to those living in homes outside of such communities, according to a research series conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago (NORC) in conjunction with the National Investment Center for Seniors Housing & Care (NIC).
The research by NORC and NIC found that senior living residents experienced decreased vulnerability to negative health outcomes, received comprehensive care, and had increased longevity when moving to a community compared to aging at home.
