Continuing Care Retirement Communities

Continuing Care Retirement Communities provide housing, services, and health care at one location.

Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs) offer the services necessary for you to "age in place." You don't need to leave the community because your health needs change. Housing options include:

  • Townhouses or cottages for independent living
  • Assisted living apartments 
  • Nursing home accommodations for people who need more care

As your needs change, you'll have access to different services, including:

  • Nursing and other health-care services
  • Meals, usually in a community dining area
  • Housekeeping
  • Emergency help
  • Personal care help
  • Recreational and social activities
  • 24 hour security
  • Building and grounds maintenance

Services vary by facility, and there's usually a monthly fee. It is important to learn which services are included in the monthly fee and which are extra. Most CCRCs require an entrance fee that is usually like the cost of purchasing a house in that town. Part of the entrance fee may be refundable depending on the CCRC's contract.

Per MGL Chapter 93, Section 76, CCRCs must submit operational documents to the Executive Office of Elder Affairs (EOEA). You can find copies of these documents in the directory below.
