Synopsis

Updated in 2025.

Live your senior years as part of a thriving community—choose the continuing care retirement community or life plan community that’s right for you, even if you’re still a few years away from retirement.

Retirement can be a joyful time; however, one question hangs over your head: how can you prepare for your long-term care?

The old idea that family will take care of you in your senior years is beautiful but often impractical. You may not have any family or your family may be consumed with their daily survival or not be as financially stable as you are. You may not want to be a burden to your family.

Perhaps you are considering moving into a senior living or retirement community, but you don’t know which one will suit your lifestyle.

CCRCs have different requirements, including financial requirements and health checks… and that’s why the smartest thing to do is to make a choice before you actually have to.

The younger you are, the more energy you have to make new friendships, settle into your chosen CCRC with your spouse or partner, and make any necessary arrangements—including selling your home or other assets in time to make a smooth transition.

This guide takes all the confusion out of selecting and moving to a CCRC. It has been written to support and enlighten you with key information at every stage of your journey.

Within these pages, you will find:

• Types of care for seniors – how to choose what’s best for you at the right time of your life
• All the nitty-gritty of CCRC paperwork and requirements – from contracts to entrance fees to monthly fees to resident qualifications
• 8 things to look for in a CCRC
• 6 questions to ask a CCRC before moving in with a spouse or partner – including information regarding resident rights
• New trends in CCRCs
• Tax breaks and deductions you may be entitled to as a CCRC resident
• How to make your move easier and adjust to the first year of living in a CCRC
• Common challenges you might encounter in a CCRC and how to overcome them
• Resources to get you started
  and more.

The sooner you start planning for your life in a community, the sooner you can put all your worries to rest—and ensure that you and only you make key decisions about your future.

Get ready to delve into the ins and outs of CCRCs, and make the choice that best suits your lifestyle, tastes, and health needs.
