Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRC)
Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRC) are residential campuses that provide a continuum of care -- from assisted living to skilled nursing care, all in one location. Most of these are non-profit communities owned and operated by a religious organization. They all offer independent living, often a wide variety of options from single family cottages to duplexes to townhouses and apartments. In other parts of the community, a multi-care leveled assisted living community typically exists in the event that you may someday need some help with activities of daily living (ADL’s). Finally, a CCRC also offers a nursing home community, should you ever require even more care than is provided with assisted living. Special dementia or Alzheimer’s units are often available as well.

Independent Living
Independent Living Communities are designed to enable independent seniors to enjoy a lifestyle filled with recreational, educational and social activities amongst other seniors.

Assisted Living
Assisted Living provides a special combination of residential housing, personalized supportive services and care.

Nursing Homes
Nursing Homes, or Skilled Nursing Facilities, are designed for seniors who are in need of 24-hour nursing care.

Alzheimer's Care
Alzheimer’s Care provides specialized care and housing tailored to the special needs of individuals with this disease.
