Sites should be submitted at the Housing and Communities subcategory level closest to their location. Sites can also be submitted to get a second listing at the Locality level under the Regional branch of the Open Directory.

For example, a senior living community in the city of Henderson, Nevada in the United States should be submitted to Society: People: Seniors: Retirement: Housing and Communities: North America: United States: Nevada And to Regional: North America: United States: Nevada: Localities: H: Henderson (in the appropriate subcategory, if applicable)

Facilities whose primary focus is assisted living and nursing homes are not listed in the Housing and Communities category. They should be submitted to: Health: Senior Health: Assisted Living: Facilities (in the appropriate subcategory)

This category profiles senior housing and senior living communities that are either age-exclusive (ex. 55+) or age-inclusive. Facilities whose primary focus is assisted living and nursing homes are not listed in this category. The sites are broken down by country and state.
