Continuing-care Retirement Communities

This text examines continuing-care retirement communities.

With a review of community organizational and economic status and interviews of over 2000 CCRC residents, the study examines resident profiles, resident satisfaction, differences among the communities, and controlled comparisons with elderly people from other settings.

The book analyzes 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 should be of interest to gerontologists, educators, researchers, health policy and finance professionals, CCRC managers, and federal and state regulatory agencies.
