CCRCs have historically been—and continue to be-
an attractive lifestyle choice for older adults.
They offer a healthy wellness- and social engagement-oriented
for the vigorous and for the frail.
They are often especially attractive to those who want to plan ahead
for their future long-term care needs and to older adults
who have the resources to choose from a variety of lifestyle options.
These adults will continue to be attracted to a number of CCRC features:
1. Secure private accommodations and common area amenities in a
variety of styles and with a wide range of pricing options;
2. A continuum of services at a single location, including dining,
housekeeping, social and recreational programs, transportation,
and health-care services, as needed;
3. Payment plans that may utilize home equity to help keep
monthly expenses at a lower level and that may offer repayment
of a portion of the entrance fees
4. Possible income-tax deductions in the form of a medical
expense deduction for certain fees paid to the CCRC;
and, most importantly,
5. Protection against the loss of accommodations and services
if the resident exhausts his or her funds.
