What is a Continuing Care Retirement Community?

Assisted living communities is home-like living that caters to seniors who require some degree of assistance with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, medication, or meal—without loss of independence. In contrast to nursing homes, these homes encourage independence with extra care and support.

Residents usually have private or semi-private apartments and have 24/7 access to assistance. Services may include housekeeping, laundry, transportation, recreational programs, and meals—all designed to improve quality of life.

Independent Living vs. Assisted Living

A majority of the seniors begin their independent living experience in senior living communities close to me, designed for active adult 55+ with no need for personal care services. The communities have social activities, maintenance-free living, and safety features—perfect for retirees who want an active lifestyle.

But as the situation evolves, assisted living is the better choice. Why? Assisted living offers daily personal care services, independent living does not.

How to Select the Proper Community

Following are a few tips to assist you in refining your search:

Where you are: Proximity to family, health providers, and familiar communities is an important determinant of safety and comfort.
Licensing & Accreditation: Make sure the community is in good standing with the state and has a good reputation.
