In a retirement village, do the residents still do their own groceries?

Question

is there a grocery or convenience store inside?

Answer 1

It varies. There are some retirement communities with a dining room, where people can just skip cooking and eat whatever the chef has prepared. There are other places where the people live more independently, going to the supermarket and cooking their own meals like other people do.

Answer 2

They are not prisoners, yes they own their own groceries.
