Here is the first detailed study of the economic, social, and administrative implications for the establishment of continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs). Leaders in the field of optional living arrangements for the elderly examine models of continuing care retirement communities throughout the United States. A wide range of sometimes conflicting views are vigorously discussed--by proponents of continuing care communities as well as by representatives from states that do not allow the existence of such institutions. Other intensely debated topics include existing and recommended financial and legal regulations of the industry; legal, financial, and ethical implications of continuing care communities; and a sociohistorical overview of the concept of continuing care.

A comprehensive framework for capitalizing on the growing market for Continuing Care Retirement Communities. Senior Residences equips architects and other industry professionals with a proven executive strategy for the design and development of successful Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) projects. Using two of America's foremost CCRCs as best practice case studies, it guides readers through every critical aspect of the process, from research and planning through construction, including: * The enterprise concept * Formation of an executive organization * Financial and legal due diligence * Marketing and sales preparation * Residents' expectations and requirements * Healthcare and residential services * The design and build process * Project monitoring and assessment The over-65 population is increasing rapidly and dramatically, raising crucial concerns about the housing and care of senior citizens in the years ahead. How can we provide the best possible quality of care to the elderly? How can architects, developers, and others capitalize on the growing senior housing industry and stay competitive in the future? How can the facilities they create deliver both good service and strong financial returns? While there are no easy answers to these important questions, the Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) model has emerged as a flexible and attractive option for providing combined housing, services, and nursing care to the elderly. Senior Residences equips architects and other industry professionals with a comprehensive, three-part strategic framework for designing and developing successful CCRC projects. Part I identifies the eight critical success factors of a CCRC enterprise and illustrates them through an in-depth examination of two exemplary developments, The Cypress of South Carolina's Hilton Head Island and The Stratford in the San Francisco Peninsula. Part II details a computer-based "standard of performance" system to track progress and assess project performance. Finally, Part III examines how to use different types of research to stay on top of market trends and forecasts, legal and licensing requirements, and more. Together, the three elements of this executive strategy cover every aspect of the development process, from the initial enterprise concept and executive organization building to financial and legal due diligence, marketing and sales, residents' services and healthcare, and design and build. Readers gain essential guidance in tackling key project management issues as well as in developing effective problem-solving and troubleshooting skills. Written by an author team with extensive CCRC experience, Senior Residences helps encourage avenues of thought that will lead to more cohesive, responsive, and successful CCRC projects that benefit the professionals who build them and the residents who live in them.

Continuing Care Retirement Communities. First published in 1984. "Today there are about 275 continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs) in the United States where some 90,000 elderly people (average age about 80) live independently in their own apartments but have the opportunity for eating together, group recreation, and other activities that comes from being part of an organized community. Most important, in addition to having immediately available a variety of health and social services which they can call on according to their desires and needs, the residents have a virtual guarantee that they will be adequately taken care of no matter what happens to their health. The fear of someday being a burden on relatives or friends or of finding oneself helpless among uncaring strangers is effectively removed. It is this health care guarantee that principally distinguishes CCRCs from other retirement communities. CCRCs provide insurance against the cost of long-term care, and supplement coverage of acute health care costs paid for largely by Medicare and private insurance. Their unique feature is that they provide this otherwise unobtainable full insurance in combination with independent living arrangements that the resident can enjoy as long as health permits. CCRCs are intended to be fully self-supporting, and therein lies the origin of this book. The study is the first detailed analysis of the actuarial, financial, and legal issues involved in keeping existing CCRCs financially sound and providing for the formation of new communities in ways that protect the rights of residents while assuring the perpetuation of the community. CCRCs provide essentially a new form of insurance, but until now this type of insurance has not been subjected to rigorous examination. It is fortunate that such an examination has begun, and it is to be hoped that this book will be followed quickly by other work in the field. The members of the Advisory Committee who worked closely with the research team believe that the CCRC field may be on the threshold of a major expansion, principally because for the first time large numbers of older Americans will be able to meet the cost. The financing method combines a sizable entrance fee (average $35,000 single and $39,000 couple at the time of the study) with a monthly payment which is adjusted from time to time for inflation and occasionally other factors (average $600 single and $850 couple). About 70 percent of older people now own their homes, and in many cases they have enough equity in those homes to meet the required entrance fees. And inflation-proof Social Security plus some additional income from private pensions and investments can form a basis for meeting the monthly fee for many older people, although undoubtedly considerably less than a majority. It is true that many who can afford CCRCs will nevertheless prefer other retirement arrangements, but for a considerable number the full health insurance, including long-term care, combined with independent living in a community setting will make CCRCs attractive. On behalf of the other 12 members of the Advisory Committee, I wish to commend the research team-Howard E. Winklevoss, Ph.D., project director; Alwyn V. Powell, MAAA; David L. Cohen, Esq.; Ann Trueblood-Raper; and Amy R. Karash-for their efforts to address the comments and suggestions of the Advisory Committee throughout the past 18 months and for diligently pursuing the research which has produced this book. We also wish to thank Dr. Dan M. McGill, who served the study as consultant to the research team and as chairman of the Wharton School Insurance Department and the Pension Research Council. It is our hope that the book will be useful to public policymakers, to corporations and foundations with an interest in older people and their health, to the financial community, and to potential sponsors of CCRCs."

This book examines the risks and benefits of Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRC). CCRCs can benefit older Americans by allowing them to move among and through independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing care in one community. They offer a range of contract types and fees that are designed to provide long-term care and transfer different degrees of the risk of future cost increases from the resident to the CCRC. Developing CCRCs can be a lengthy, complex process that requires significant long-term financing and accurate revenue and cost projections. Once operational, risks to long-term viability include declining occupancy and unexpected cost increases. While few CCRCs have failed, challenging economic and real estate market conditions have negatively affected some CCRCs occupancy and financial conditions.

A continuing-care retirement community (CCRC)or life-care communityis a residence and nursing care option designed to respond to the needs of elderly persons as they need more supportive services over time. Although CCRCs have been in existence for some time, little longitudinal research has been conducted on these facilities. In Continuing-Care Retirement Communities the authors present a multifaceted portrait of CCRCs since the mid-1980s. With a review of community organizational and economic status and interviews of over 2,000 CCRC residents, the study examines resident profiles, resident satisfaction, differences among the communities, and controlled comparisons with elderly people in other settings. The book also analyses and integrates the findings as a whole, deriving implications for policy, planning, and future research. This documentation of the quality of life for CCRC members will be of use to gerontologists, educators, researchers, health policy and finance professionals, CCRC managers, and federal and state regulatory agencies. "In the growing field of continuing-care retirement communities this is a groundbreaking and significant publicationa mini encyclopedia of what is now known about life care communities with all their variation. This is an invaluable resource for planning future development and internal programming and for gaining a better understanding of the reach of social research which tries to probe not only the readily popular statistics, but the less traceable dimensions of human behaviors and choice taking as more and more citizens begin to consider how to plan for their aging years." -- Robert Morris, Gerontology Institute, University ofMassachusetts
