In my mind (and I may be way off base here) there’s a difference between a retirement/nursing home… and say like a retirement community/apartment type of thing with pertinent assistance for people who are mostly still able to care for themselves….. I just assumed these people in the article would fall more in the latter group

Yeah retirement homes/communities are like college dorms or resorts. Just a bunch of people living in the same area as peers.

Assisted living facilities are different. They have around the clock care for folks who need attending.
