One of the fascinating aspects of aging is how different older people are from one another. The words mentally and physically frail and oldest‐old are used to describe this constituency, but there is tremendous variability among individuals. Housing for older people is not just about what it looks like. The most common strategy is to do nothing and continue without thinking about it. Home modifications are often made along with adjustments in lifestyle. For many the house is like a museum of life experiences. Most licensed supportive care settings provide services that eliminate the habitual, familiar tasks that give the day meaning. The second strategy examines the situation realistically and considers the choices that make sense and the ones to avoid. Older frail people often suffer disabilities that limit self‐care or require supplemental personal care assistance. Social interaction may be the most compelling reason to create group housing for older people.
