Consumer Resources

Continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs) are unique because they offer a full range of living arrangements for their residents – independent housing, assisted living/adult care facility, and nursing home – within one community. This arrangement allows a person to enter the community as an independent housing resident, and, as his/her needs change, the services provided in the CCRC can change so that the person does not have to move out of the community.

More information on the CCRC model is provided here and in the resources linked below.
