Benefits of a Continuing Care Retirement Community

Continuing care retirement communities give you the chance to invest in your present and your future. There are multiple levels of care on a single campus, so you can enjoy peace of mind—even if your healthcare needs change down the road, your address can likely stay the same.

Why Choose a CCRC?

Planning for future care can feel complex. A CCRC helps simplify that process by bringing multiple levels of care together in one location.

Many people appreciate:

Fewer moves if care needs change
More stability during health transitions
A single place to build community and routine
A clearer plan for your next chapter

Some CCRCs offer four levels of care. Others offer a select combination, such as skilled nursing and assisted living. We can walk you through what’s available at each location and help you find a fit that supports your goals.

People often consider a CCRC after a health event, during recovery or when they want a smart plan for the future.

What is life like in a CCRC?

Life in a CCRC centers around what matters most to you. Your days can include morning exercise, shared meals with friends or quiet time in a private apartment. The pace is yours to set.

Care, if needed, is available nearby and delivered by team members that take the time to get to know you. This kind of continuity can help you feel more secure and supported.

Depending on the community, you may find:

Private or companion-style apartments
Fresh meals served on-site
Wellness classes and creative programs
Housekeeping, transportation and daily support
A familiar environment designed for comfort

At a Brookdale CCRC, you have the chance to shape each day—with support that adjusts as your needs do.

Four of the Top Reasons to Choose A CCRC

1. You want peace of mind.
When you move into a CCRC, you’re making an investment in your future. If your care needs increase, living in a CCRC means that you likely won’t have to move again to get the quality care you need. You can stay right where you are with the friends, amenities and activities you enjoy.

2. You’re ready to let someone else handle the chores.
Plenty of seniors want someone else to take care of the dirty dishes, the piles of laundry and the yard work. At a CCRC, chores are taken care of for you. Our team handles everything from cooking and cleaning to laundry and housekeeping so you can spend more time doing what you love.

3. You want to enhance your retirement.
Each of our CCRCs has its own unique calendar of events full of things like fitness classes, dance lessons, ice cream socials, happy hours and educational workshops so you can spend your days learning something new and exciting. We also have evidence-based programs like B-Fit and Ageless Spirit designed to help you live the life you want.

4. You want to meet new people.
Moving into a CCRC gives you countless opportunities to make new friends and meet people who share your same interests and passions. With many kinds of planned activities, excursions and social events, you could build a whole social circle at Brookdale.
