Continuing Care Retirement Communities, (CCRCs) have become a viable and successful solution for thousands of active people country wide. Also known as Life Care Communities, they offer older adults the comforts of home, companionship, medical care, all in one location. Couples and single people who are still living vibrant busy lives are moving into these facilities and letting others do the cooking, housekeeping, and heavy lifting. This talk is about what to know when you are looking, what questions to ask, whether city or country living, apartment, or house, and finances.

Addressed will be the basics of what you need to know about Continuing Care Retirement Communities, similarities, differences, rentals vs. buy-ins, profit vs. nonprofit facilities, and more. “If you’ve seen one CCRC, you’ve seen one CCRC”. If you learn only one thing, this is the takeaway. Every CCRC is different!!!
