CCRC (Continuing Care Retirement Community)

A Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) is a type of residential community that provides a range of care options for older adults, all within the same facility. Residents typically start in independent living apartments and can transition to assisted living or skilled nursing care as their needs change, without having to move to a different location. This model offers both housing and health care services, promoting a sense of community while allowing individuals to age in place. CCRCs often require an upfront fee and monthly payments, which cover various services and amenities offered on-site.
