Continuing Care Retirement Communities In Kansas City

A Continuing Care Retirement Community or CCRC is a community that has all levels of care including Independent Living, Assisted Living, Long Term Care (nursing home) and Skilled Nursing and Rehab. Many also have Memory Care, but some do not. A CCRC is by far the most complex community to choose because of the many variables involved. For example, at the Independent Living level, many have an Entrance Deposit plus monthly maintenance fees. There are several types of Entrance Deposit contracts; some offer 90% returned to your estate, some draw down to a $0 return over time. Some offer a "Life Care" contract and some are rental only. Some are all under one roof, some are a campus style community. Most people sell their homes and downsize to an Independent Living apartment, then age in place. There is tremendous peace-of-mind knowing that you will be taken care of for the rest of your life. A Continuing Care Retirement Community is an ideal setting for married couples, where each spouse may need a different level, but are still together in the same community. It is also ideal for an individual wanting to age in place within the same community and not have to move from facility to facility.
