Continuing Care Retirement Community
A continuing care retirement community provides and/or arranges for a continuum of residential and support services from independent living through nursing care. Persons entering a continuing care retirement community sign a contract that specifies the provision of services throughout the continuum, usually but not always provided on one campus. A variety of contract types may be offered. The persons served benefit from coordination of care and services throughout the continuum.
The persons served have the choice of flexible accommodations that are designed to meet their changing needs over time. The continuing care retirement community may also provide services for specialized populations. A spirit of community with a focus on wellness combine to enhance the quality of life for the persons served.
