What Is…a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC)?

CCRCs are living communities for seniors. Most have three levels of residence: independent living, assisted living and skilled nursing. Each level of residence is tied to the level of care that the resident requires. The primary concept behind a CCRC is that it offers a wider spectrum of care, so that once a senior moves into the community, he or she will be able to receive the appropriate care as his or her needs change. Many CCRCs support aging in place. See Gilbert Guide’s free CCRC ratings and reviews along with more information about what CCRCs offer.
