Are you exploring your senior living options? This is an exciting time of new beginnings and opportunities, but sometimes the multitude of options can make the process feel overwhelming.
At Village on the Green, a Life Care Community, we understand the desire for both independence and peace of mind. Our community is designed to cater to your evolving needs, offering a continuum of care encompassing independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and specialty services.
Below, we’re outlining the many benefits of Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs) that offer Life Care for seniors looking to merge an independent lifestyle with peace of mind.
What Is a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC)?
A continuing care retirement community (CCRC), sometimes referred to as a Life Care community depending on the type of contract offered, is designed to meet a person’s changing needs as they age. Continuing care communities offer a variety of living arrangements and health services, such as independent living, assisted living, and memory care. They may also have on-site skilled nursing and rehabilitation services.
For example, a resident might start out in an independent living residence. However, as that individual’s care needs change, they may choose to move into assisted living or memory care apartments at the same community.
That said, not all continuing care retirement communities are alike. On-site services at CCRC senior living communities are determined by the type of Life Care contract that is offered by an individual community.
What Is a Life Care Contract? Understanding CCRC Contract Types
Life Care contracts may seem complex on the surface, but they generally fall into three categories:
- Type A CCRCs (Life Care): Type A contracts at CCRCs offer the full continuum of care from independent living to assisted living and memory care. In exchange for this high level of care and predictable monthly costs, the entry fee for Life Care retirement communities tends to be higher.
- Type B CCRCs (Modified Life Care): Type B contracts also known as Modified Life Care contracts, generally offer comparable services and amenities to Type A CCRC retirement communities. However, access to on-site health services may not be as all-encompassing. These communities generally offer lower entry and/or monthly fees in comparison to Type A CCRCs but fees for additional levels of care may be higher.. Type B Contract communities lack some of the payment predictability of Type A CCRCs.
- Type C CCRCs (Fee-for-Service): Type C contract CCRCs operate on a fee-for-service model, which means you pay extra for any additional health services needed. Those costs are comparable to the market rate for healthcare services and can quickly add up if care is needed for an extended period of time.
