CONT

A naturally occurring retirement community is a middle ground between independent living and living in a long-term care facility in the sense that the community of older residents forms organically, but NORC programs funded jointly by government agencies and private organizations allow services and activities for older adults to be offered on-site. This is why NORCs typically comprise not only residents but also social service and health care providers and housing managers or neighborhood association representatives.
