Continuing Care Retirement Community - Services Provided


The Continuing Care Retirement Communities are diverse in the services that they provide. The services or programs are either included within the monthly fees or may be separately purchased or accessed on-site for an additional fee.

Examples include the following:
· Meals - This changed over time to reflect preference for more flexibility. Today, most CCRC’s either include a meal per day or some number of meals per month (such as 15 to 20) or offer a monthly dining allowance which can be used whenever the resident chooses.
· Housekeeping - weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or as needed
· Transportation - on a scheduled basis to local shopping and other sites. Transportation to personal appointments and medical services may be offered as needed for an additional fee
· Activities - recreational options including fitness programs, aquatics, arts, crafts
· Other - emergency response or emergency call

It is best to visit any community prior to making a final commitment. Let us know about your experiences by leaving your comments or contact us at http://www.ythlaw.com/
