What is a Continuous Care Retirement Community (CCRC)?

CCRCs are communities that provide a continuum of care to older adults under a contract for the life of an individual or for a period longer than one year. Typically there are three levels/stages of care offered by CCRCs: Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Skilled Nursing Care.

CCRCs are generally a collection of apartments, townhomes, or cottages and include common activity areas such as a library, activity, and craft rooms, a restaurant-like dining room, an assisted living facility, and a nursing home.
What are continuing care retirement community costs?
A range of variables such as amenities, layout, agreement, and location, impact the cost of senior living. In many continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs), a down payment is essential for those entering the facility. This initial charge may cover future services regardless of any fluctuations in the monthly cost. Depending on the specific residence, the down payment may depend on the floor plan, level of care, and reimbursement option.
