What does shared living room mean?

Unlike living together and renting a room. A shared, companion, or semi-private suite is an apartment shared by two residents. Shared or companion suites are more common in memory care or assisted living facilities than in independent accommodations and are often offered to provide a more affordable option. Shared housing clients are people with intellectual or developmental disabilities who want to gain more skills to live independently. Shared Living customers range in age from children to adults in their 70s.
