What is a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), and how is it different from other retirement communities?
Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs) offer residents a continuum of care; from independent living through assisted living and skilled nursing care, all on one campus. In addition to providing independent housing in a community especially designed for persons 65 and older, Foulkeways guarantees, contractually, that acceptance into the community includes a continuum of housing and healthcare services, regardless of your level of need during your lifetime. Without this guarantee you are often left to locate appropriate healthcare and living space, just when you may need it the most. Foulkeways at Gwynedd was founded by the members of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) in 1967 and is a non-profit, Continuing Care Retirement Community.
