Continuing Care Retirement Community
A Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) or Life Care Community is another category of independent living in San Diego.
There are several CCRCs in San Diego County, most requiring an upfront financial investment.
A CCRC provides different levels of living and care in different areas of their campus. Most of the community is attached or detached units where independent seniors can take advantage of meals and lots of activities and amenities, but where there is no care staff.
Continuing Care Communities may also have assisted living and skilled nursing on the same campus.
A CCRC is a good choice for those who still independent, have the finances to afford to move there, and who are planning for the future.
