Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is called "village care" or a "village model" where elderly individuals support each other to age in place within their community. They may share resources such as transportation, home repairs, or social activities. This model promotes independence and social connection among seniors. Assisted living and nursing homes typically involve more professional medical care and supervision, while an extended family may not necessarily include non-relatives living nearby.
