My mother is growing older, and I am a little concerned about her housing options. She might no longer be able to take care of the family home and might need long term personal care in the future. Is CCRCs a good option for her?

CCRCs (Continuing care retirement communities) is a form of assisted assisted living known as life care communities. They offer those who stay here with social activities, decent housing, meals, and health care ranging from minimal personal assistance to skilled nursing care. These communities will be ideal for your mother if she is in good health but if you are worried that you may need such care in the future.
You are guaranteed that the CCRC will provide your mother with housing and nursing home care for the rest of her life in exchange for a one-time entrance fee ranging from $50,000 to over $300,000. Expect to be charged a monthly maintenance fee of $800 to over $4,000. CCRC may keep your entrance fee and then assign your mother’s apartment to someone else when she dies depending on your contract with the facility.
It will be helpful if you find out if the cost of that coverage is included in your basic contract or is an additional expense. Try to make sure the CCRC offers your mother the level of health-care coverage that you feel your mother may need. You should also try find out how much say you have in decisions such as in determining when your mother must leave her apartment and move into the nursing home portion of the facility.
Choosing CCRC as long-term care option, be sure to read the fine print of the contract. Make sure that you understand the entrance and maintenance fee requirements for your chosen CCRC. You would also want to be aware of any additional requirements that the long term care contract might impose on you. You may also have to purchase additional insurance to cover your short-term or long-term health-care costs. Because long term care plan is a long-term commitment, you need to check the financial stability of the facility and the company that operates it for you to get your money’s worth.
