I have heard the term CCRC - is this a type of retirement home?
This acronym stands for Continuing Care Retirement Community. This is a senior living complex that offers independent living, assisted living and skilled nursing or rehabilitation services all within one building or on one campus.
This living arrangement is ideal for couples, as it allows them to remain together, regardless of their need for care. It can also be ideal for a single person, as making decisions about a future move is eliminated. These communities offer a continuum of care, providing life-long services for their residents.
For assistance with arranging for in-home care or for help choosing a senior housing or care community call CHOICE at 800-361-0138.
