Question 1

What is a CCRC?

Accepted Answer

The traditional CCRC (continuing care retirement community) is an integrated community of services anchored in Independent Living. If residents’ health declines, they can move through the additional levels of living to meet their changing needs – into Assisted Living, for example, for assistance with the tasks of daily life or even Memory Support, when individuals develop Alzheimer’s Disease or other forms of age-related dementia. The continuum of care in a CCRC is designed to keep residents within the community as long as possible, where their social network will continue to sustain their well-being.

Question 2

What’s assisted living?

Accepted Answer

For those who can still live independently but need extra assistance with activities of daily living such as taking medication, bathing, dressing, meals, housekeeping, transportation and other everyday needs – Assisted Living may be just what’s needed. Designed to maintain a person’s important sense of independence, Assisted Living offers the resident a team of nurses and other caregivers who are accessible 24/7.

Question 3

What kinds of medical professionals are on site?

Accepted Answer

The staff includes registered nurses, licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants, plus physical, occupational and speech therapists. Assisted Living and Memory Support staff are on site 24/7.

Question 4

How do I know which level of assisted living is right?

Accepted Answer

A physicians’ evaluation is the right place to start. When your loved one seems to be unable to live independently successfully and safely, an assessment of medical and daily living needs by a professional will help you know what’s needed next. When you’re ready, our professional team can answer questions and provide further information that will help you and your loved one determine which level of Assisted Living services will be right.

Question 5

How’s assisted living different from independent living?

Accepted Answer

Independent Living means you’re on your own; Assisted Living means that with a little help, you can be independent. It’s ideal for people who need a little extra assistance with the daily tasks – including taking their medication, meals, housekeeping, transportation, and bathing and dressing – but are otherwise able to live independently.
