What is a Continuing Care Retirement Community?
A continuing care retirement community (often referred to as a CCRC) is a blend of several options–part housing complex, part activity center and part health care system. A CCRC differs from other retirement options by providing a continuum of housing, services and health care. There is a written agreement between the resident and the CCRC that is generally intended to last the resident’s lifetime or for a specific period. Wesley Homes Des Moines follows this model.
A continuing care retirement community provides a quality, residential living environment in which senior adults live full, independent lives as actively as they wish, with the assurance of on-site assisted living and nursing care if needed. Continuing care retirement communities provide private residences in a community setting. Residents can enjoy common areas for dining and other activities, as well as a wide range of convenient services and amenities.
Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs) are residential communities that offer a long-term contract to provide a continuum of care—from private apartments to assisted living and then skilled-nursing care, all in one location. CCRCs offer seniors a fulfilling lifestyle, coupled with the assurance that extra assistance and health care will be provided as needed.
