When it comes to choosing the best retirement community, it’s important to consider three top priorities. After all, not all continuing care retirement communities, or CCRCs, are the same, nor do they all offer the same care levels or models of payment.
Accreditation
Accreditation standards vary by state, which is why some CCRCs choose accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities. While not having this accreditation isn’t always a bad thing, it’s one extra evaluation to consider.
Health care arrangements
Additionally, you’ll want information about how close hospitals and doctors are to the community, plus if there are health care professionals on-site. Another good thing is to ask is about in-home health services.
Benevolence policy
Finally, it’s important to know what kinds of benevolence policies are offered in case of personal financial issues down the road. Oftentimes, CCRCs will have something in place to help residents out.
