Let an agent explain retirement homes, relay types, services, regulation, costs and quality issues from ageing policy and care regulator sources, describe the named forms, point people to inspection reports and elder abuse reporting, and distinguish retirement homes from nursing homes, hospices, retirement villages and home care services.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.
