Housing With Services

CCRC

A continuing care retirement community is a gate secured campus offering independent living, assisted living and nursing home care. It usually provides a written contract between the resident and the community, which offers a continuum of housing, services and health care services, commonly all on one campus. CCRC residents enjoy an independent lifestyle with the knowledge that if they become sick or frail, their needs will continue to be met. In general, residents are expected to move into the community while they are still independent and able to take care of themselves.
