Well, the question is first, what does the Retirement Home provide.

As it is not a nursing home, there is no constant nursing. So a nurse might be
available on request, or there might be age-specific animation, so it is either
"assisted living" or a "group home", depending on the level of assistance and structure.

Or it is one of the Condos/Apartment blocks with minimum age (legal or not) that was
mentioned in the previous discussion, then it would be no social_facility at all,
it would be just a building=residential with min_age=60.
