Zoning for senior living involves local regulations that determine where and how housing for older adults—such as assisted living or memory care facilities—can be developed within a community.Proper zoning ensures that senior housing is located near healthcare services, public transportation, and amenities. It also supports the growth of age-friendly communities by addressing accessibility, safety, and inclusivity in planning decisions.
Zoning laws decide where senior living communities—like assisted living or memory care facilities—can be built. These rules affect availability, affordability, and how close housing is to transportation, hospitals, and family.When zoning is too restrictive, it limits seniors’ options and pushes housing further away from essential services. Creating age-friendly zoning policies helps communities meet the needs of an aging population and makes it easier for older adults to stay connected and supported.
