生活機能齊全、提供居民日常所需之所有服務的住宅區，服務內容包括：飲食、醫療、休閒娛樂，有些亦包括家事服務。與「連續性照護退休社區」不同之處在於，入住生活照護社區的費用係一次繳清，可能依居住時間長短而有所不同，而連續性照護退休社區的入住費用一般為每月支付。若指專為退休老人建設，但提供之服務沒有生活照護社區全面者，則稱為「退休社區」。

持續關懷退休者社區

英文....	Self-contained residential communities which provide extensive services for the complete daily needs of residents, including dining, medical, recreation, entertainment and, possibly, estate care facilities. Distinguished from "continuing care retirement communities" by normally requiring a one-time up-front fee instead of monthly charges, which may be variable over the duration of the residency. For similar facilities for retired people in which the services offered are less comprehensive, use "retirement communities."
荷蘭語....	Woongemeenschappen die uitgebreide diensten leveren met betrekking tot alle dagelijkse behoeften van de bewoners, inclusief eten, medische zorg, amusement en huishoudelijk hulp. Geen Nederlands equivalent.
西班牙語....	Úsese para comunidades residenciales autosuficientes que otorgan servicios extensivos para todas las necesidades diarias de los residentes, incluyendo comida, medicinas, recreación, entretenimiento y, posiblemente, facilidades para cuidado de los bienes. Se diferencia de "continuing care retirement community" por el requerimiento normal de una cuota en vez de cargos mensuales, los cuales pueden ser variables en la duración de la residencia. Para facilidades similares para gente jubilada en la cual los servicios ofrecidos son menos comprensivos,'use "comunidad de retiro."
