What is a CCRC and What Are the Benefits?
A Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) is a senior living option that offers a full range of care within one community, from independent living to assisted living, skilled nursing, and sometimes memory care. This allows residents to transition seamlessly as their needs change while maintaining a stable, secure, and vibrant environment.
How CCRCs Work
CCRCs operate on a continuum-of-care model, starting with independent living and moving to higher levels of care as needed. This integrated approach simplifies long-term planning, reduces stress, and offers peace of mind to both residents and their families.
Key Benefits of a CCRC
- Comprehensive Care in One Location: Access various levels of care without moving, ensuring stability and continuity as needs change.
- Active Lifestyle: CCRCs offer engaging activities like fitness classes, social events, and educational opportunities, promoting personal growth and connection.
- Financial Security: Many CCRCs provide flexible financial plans, including entrance fees and monthly charges, for predictable budgeting.
- Social Connections: Residents build lasting friendships and enjoy a sense of belonging in a supportive community.
- Peace of Mind for Families: Families can trust their loved ones are in a safe, caring environment with access to needed services.
- Maintenance-Free Living: Residents enjoy a hassle-free lifestyle with housekeeping, landscaping, and repairs taken care of.
