What is a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC)?

A facility for long-term hospital care
An organization offering multiple levels of healthcare
A type of rehabilitation center
A community providing assisted living only

The correct answer is: An organization offering multiple levels of healthcare

A Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) is designed to offer a range of housing options and healthcare services to its residents, accommodating their evolving health needs as they age. This makes option B the correct answer. In a CCRC, individuals can start in independent living and move to assisted living or skilled nursing care as their needs change, all while remaining in the same community. This model promotes continuity of care and allows individuals to build long-term relationships with caregivers and peers. The other options describe types of care or facilities that do not align with the comprehensive, multi-level care model characteristic of a CCRC. For instance, a facility for long-term hospital care primarily focuses on acute medical needs rather than lifestyle support. Similarly, a rehabilitation center typically emphasizes short-term recovery rather than long-term living arrangements. Lastly, a community providing assisted living only does not encompass the full spectrum of care options available within a CCRC setting.
