accommodations and amenities designed specifically for older adults. May
offer subsidies, recreational activities but generally no assistive care.
ACTIVE ADULT
A more compact, low maintenance residence often offering aging in
place features. Access to leisure and recreational activities and generally
no assistive care.

A variation on the above in generally a more structured environment. Onsite
social and recreational activities and again limited access to assistive care.

For centuries, historians have been captivated by the lost English colony
of Roanoke Island. In 1587, the colony was established by the English
gentleman Sir Walter Raleigh, and was settled by a group of 117 men,
women, and children. After three months, the colony’s governor, John White,
made the trip back to England for supplies.
Thanks to the country’s war with Spain, Britain was short on ships, and
White’s return was delayed. When he came back to Roanoke Island three
years later, he found that its inhabitants had mysteriously disappeared. The
only trace he found of the colonists were the word “cro” etched into a tree,
and “croatan” carved into a fence post.
