What is a Continuing Care Retirement Community, and what are its advantages?
A Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) offers seniors 62 years of age and above the opportunity to live in a residential community designed for people seeking an active, independent lifestyle. It also provides the added security of on-site short-term and long-term care if needed. Life Care residents may transfer to the Assisted Living area, Memory Care or Skilled Nursing facility if their needs change.
A CCRC provides financial security, value, flexibility, and peace of mind for residents and their families.
Do the residents own their Apartments or Garden Homes?
