Continuing Care Retirement Communities




« back to classes page
ClassGraphic Some of us are facing the question of how to prepare for our senior years. The old idea was that the family would take care of us, but now this is often impracticable and maybe burdensome to them. These issues are challenging; not thinking about them is the worst choice of all. If we are considering moving into a senior living or retirement community, what kind of community and how do we choose? One option is a Continuing Care Retirement Community, or CCRC. What are they, what are the benefits, and the potential pitfalls? Our text is Find the Right CCRC for Yourself or a Loved One by Ruth Alvarez (Canyon New Media, 4th ed., 2025), which is a trove of practical information and advice. Each week, study group members will have in-depth discussions regarding the social, financial, legal, and health-related considerations that go along with choosing and living in a CCRC. Our discussions will be greatly enriched by knowledge and experiences shared by study group members.
