What is a CCRC (Continuing Care Retirement Community)?
A CCRC offers older adults a secure long-term solution to changing needs in their retirement years. Residents can choose from a variety of contracts that offer several types of housing arrangements, various options for housekeeping and maintenance services, and many medical care plans. Community activities and supportive services provide opportunities to keep residents independent, active, and engaged in life as long as possible. Residents in accredited CCRC facilities can also expect to receive supportive and respectful end-of-life care.

A continuing care retirement community provides the assurance that, in addition to independent residential living, continuing healthcare services such as care center nursing and assisted living are available should the need arise. When The Episcopal Home Communities signs a continuing care agreement with a resident, it makes a commitment to provide care and services to the resident under the terms of the contract for the remainder of the resident’s life.
