COMMUNITY RESOURCES
Continuing Care Retirement Communities
CCRCs offer a full range of housing, residential services, and health care as the needs of residents change over time.
The continuum of facilities and services available to residents typically includes:
- An independent residential unit (apartment or villa), one or more meals, housekeeping, social and recreational activities, and some transportation.
- A separate assisted living area on the premises, where additional support services are provided. Some of these are secure for people with memory loss.
- A separate health care and nursing facility on the premises, with skilled nursing and/or physical rehabilitation, either short-term or long-term.
The on-site community, services, healthcare, and activities are key factors that attract many people to CCRCs. It is also appealing to feel that you need make only one major transition to a new location.
Some Important Features of CCRCs
Some CCRCs are lifecare communities, meaning that once you buy in, care is provided through the levels of care (independent, assisted, nursing). Others offer a continuum of care, meaning that they offer all levels of care, but you must be admitted to and pay differently for each level of care. Lifecare contracts generally expect you to enter and live independently for some period of time, while continuum contracts allow people to enter at each level of care.
Many but not all CCRCs are accredited by the Continuing Care Retirement Commission, a department of the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities.
