CCRCs provide multiple levels of care at a single location, allowing residents to stay in the same place as their needs change over time. CCRCs almost always include independent living and skilled nursing care, and many include assisted living and memory care as well.
Independent living communities provide support and amenities for seniors who no longer want to live alone or be responsible for home maintenance. They offer housing options including apartments, villas and, in some cases, single-family homes. They typically provide meal service, housekeeping, transportation and social activities.
