SeniorHabitat's comprehensive list of Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRC) are designed for active seniors with an independent lifestyle but want increased levels of care as needs change. As a resident's health status changes, they may shift from one level of care to another, all within the same community. These communities offer a variety of services including rehabilitation and nursing care after a hospital stay or when extended care is needed. The cost of Continuing Care Retirement Communities varies from one community to another. An Extensive Contract offers unlimited skilled nursing care for a small cost or no price increase in monthly fees. A Modified Contract charges additional fees for services that exceed a specified amount of services. In some communities, services might be provided on a month-to-month basis.
