Everyone deserves a living arrangement that fits their needs, lifestyle, and desires. As we grow older, finding the best place to call home is an important decision, but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs) offer a perfect solution by providing multiple levels of care within one, supportive community.
Why choose a CCRC? Let’s take a closer look at some of the top benefits:
#1: The Full Continuum of Care, All in One Place
Moving is stressful for everyone involved, and after downsizing once, most seniors (and their families) would probably rather never do it again! That’s why the number one reason to choose a Continuing Care Retirement Community is the opportunity to have all your needs met in one community, throughout life’s journey.
Continuing Care Retirement Communities are designed for those who want to truly “age in place.” Residents are able to stay in the same community as their needs evolve, without the stress of having to uproot their lives and move multiple times to receive the support they need.
#2: True Maintenance-Free Living
When you picture your ideal retirement, you’re probably not dreaming of scrubbing dirty dishes or folding piles of laundry. That’s why, in a CCRC, residents can say goodbye to chores, home repairs, and yard work. The community handles everything from housekeeping to laundry to landscaping, so residents can spend more time to what really matters — hobbies, friends, and family — and less time worrying about home upkeep.
#3: Fun with Friends
Staying at home can be lonely at times, no matter our age. When you live in a Continuing Care Retirement Community like Willow Brook Christian Communities, you’re only steps away from new friends and engaging activities that bring residents together every day. You’ll find that companionship comes easy when you’re surrounded by neighbors who share your interests and passions, from movies and books to games and arts and crafts.
At Willow Brook, each of our communities has its own unique calendar filled with fun programming like happy hours, ice cream socials, live music, and outings to local restaurants, entertainment and shopping centers.
#4: Delicious Dining Options
If cooking for just one or two people has become a hassle at home, you’ll love living in a CCRC. Instead of juggling all the meal planning, grocery shopping, chopping, cooking, and clean-up, you’ll enjoy chef-prepared meals in restaurant-style dining rooms and cafés. Everything is taken care of, so you can sit back, relax, and savor good food with good friends.
#5: Convenient Amenities
Continuing Care Retirement Communities also offer a range of on-site amenities and services to make life easier, such as fitness centers, libraries, hair salons and barber shops, and community spaces for art-making and other social activities. Services such as utilities, telephone, internet, and cable television are typically included for the utmost convenience. Transportation services are also available to nearby businesses and doctor’s appointments, ensuring residents can stay connected to the broader community.
