From Medicare.gov, the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services. Provides introductory information on continuing care retirement communities (CCRC’s) and links to additional information from the Administration on Aging (AoA) and from the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities, where you can request a list of accredited facilities in your area.
If you are considering a CCRC, be sure to check the record of its nursing home. Your CCRC contract usually requires you to use the CCRC nursing home if you need this level of care. CCRCs generally charge a large payment before you move in (called an entry fee) and then charge monthly fees.
