Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs) are an ideal living option for seniors seeking a blend of independence, vibrant community life, and the assurance of future care. Unlike other senior living options, CCRCs uniquely provide a comprehensive plan for evolving healthcare needs, ensuring residents have a secure future without compromising their current lifestyle.
Here’s a closer look at what CCRCs offer and who benefits the most from this type of retirement community.
What is a Continuing Care Retirement Community?
CCRCs provide a comprehensive, long-term approach to senior living by offering inclusive amenities, services, social activities and excursions. Residents can choose from various contract options that accommodate different needs and preferences, making it easier to move through various levels of care as required. At the same time, residents maintain access to community amenities and activities. With an initial entrance fee and ongoing monthly fees, this holistic approach is available to all seniors and offers security and lifestyle enrichment.
Adults Who Benefit Most From CCRC Living?
CCRCs serve a diverse group of seniors, each with unique needs and aspirations. Whether you’re a senior seeking an active and engaging lifestyle or looking for security and ease, these communities can be a good fit for you. Here are a few of the personality types who thrive in communities with Life Care options.
Active and Social Seniors
For seniors who value an active and social lifestyle, CCRCs are an ideal choice, and the emphasis on a vibrant community life is evident. Events and activities are gateways to forging lasting connections and enjoying every day to the fullest. The calendar is full of opportunities to stay engaged, healthy, and connected, from art classes to fitness programs and social gatherings to cultural events. Best of all, seniors with Life Care contracts don’t have to move to a new community if their care needs evolve.
Seniors Seeking a Sense of Security
One of the most significant advantages of a CCRC is its sense of security. Life care services ensure predictability in costs, and provide a plan for potential healthcare needs down the road. The availability of on-call assistance and a range of healthcare options—like skilled nursing care—means residents know that their future is secure no matter what it holds.
Adults Looking for Simplicity and Leisure
Imagine a life where the hassles of daily chores and home maintenance are things of the past. This is the reality in a senior living community. Residents enjoy the freedom of maintenance-free living, leaving ample time to indulge in hobbies, socialize, and relish the finer aspects of life. With a full community social calendar and many opportunities for leisure and exploration, you can spend more time doing what you want to do rather than chores you used to need to do.
Free-Spirited Seniors
For those who have always lived life on their terms, Life Care contracts provide the perfect backdrop for a fulfilling lifestyle. If continuous learning, travel, and new experiences are what you crave, a CCRC serves as an ideal home base to begin each journey. Engage in educational programs, be part of travel groups, or simply enjoy the freedom to explore new hobbies and passions without needing to worry about your future living situation.
