The goal of a CCRC is to allow residents to age in place with a continuum of care. If illness or injury occurs, the necessary health care services required will be available ideally within the community, and the person will not have to move elsewhere to obtain the care they need. This can allow couples to maintain close proximity as individual needs change.

Choosing a CCRC gives opportunity for an individual or couple to plan their living arrangement carefully and early so they can direct their own future.

Crafts:
