“A Retirement Community That Comes to You”

A Retirement Community That Comes to You,” by Paula Span, New York Times

“Typically, a C.C.R.C. operates a complex or campus where residents shift from independent living to assisted living, a memory-care unit or a nursing home if their health and mobility decline. But in continuing care at-home programs, members essentially spend the independent living years in their own houses. … Though some at-home programs date to the 1990s, there are still very few. Across the country, nearly 2000 C.C.R.C.’s, mostly nonprofits, serve about 745,000 residents. Only 32, in about a dozen states, have added at-home programs. But more senior living organizations are considering this approach, a possible answer to a perpetual conflict: Older Americans are very likely to need long-term care, but often loathe the thought of leaving their homes.”

 

LTC Comment (from Stephen A. Moses, President, Center for Long-Term Care Reform):

Seems like a comer.
