I thought that lots of senior housing establishments offer what is essentially dorm living as an option in between independent apartment living and full nursing care? In college, Mrs B's rooming house was about the best accommodations I had. She had 5 single rooms and 2 double rooms IIRC. It was $9/week for a single circa '65. Another $11/week for 20 meals at the eating club, and I only got food poisoning once.

My grandmother moved into one of those a few years ago, after one of her friends moved in and loved it. She's still pretty independent, making her own food sometimes instead of eating in the cafeteria, still driving (although she's mentioned that she's thinking of selling her car and voluntarily giving up her license, but seems to really enjoy living around so many people her own age and being able to attend the social events they hold. Although she hasn't had any health problems (89 years and still going strong!), it's comforting to us to know that if some sort of emergency did happen, there are plenty of people around whose jobs are to help out.
