What is a Continuing Care Retirement Community?
As we near the age of retirement, deciding where we will spend those golden years becomes increasingly important. You may be healthy now, but what happens when the natural aging process causes your healthcare needs to change? A smart approach to this burning question is to move to a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC). These communities offer peace of mind for residents and their loved ones by providing all levels of care, community and social engagement, and maintenance-free living.
Full Continuum of Care
A Continuing Care Retirement Community, also known as a CCRC or Life Plan Community, provides access to multiple levels of care on one single campus. Residents can seamlessly transition from independent living to assisted living, memory care or health & rehabilitation without the stress of having to relocate to another community.
Communities like Prairie Landing may also offer hospice care and rehabilitation/therapy services on their campus as well – providing a one-stop-shop for your ever evolving healthcare needs. This proactive approach to your future can alleviate the stress loved ones often face when coordinating healthcare for their aging loved ones.
