I don't want to be a "Debbie Downer," but for those of you considering CCRCs with a Lifetime Guarantee or whatever name it might have, recommend you understand very clearly what the medical coverage entails, especially if/when you or your LO needs to move into Assisted Living or Nursing Care.
My parents made the CCRC decision a number of years ago as well, though my father passed away before they actually moved. After 4.5 years in Independent Living, my mother recently had to move to an Assisted Living apartment. Dementia was a factor. The "Peace of Mind" regarding not needing family's help has proven to be unfounded, in both IL and AL, even though she lives in the top-ranked CCRC in the state. Even residents say you "MUST" have an advocate once one has to move from Independent Living (and sometimes before) - someone to track medical conditions and care, schedule appointments, coordinate transportation (especially for those in AL who can't do it themselves), attend appointments either in person or virtually, research alternative treatments or obtain second opinions if needed, provide companionship if their condition precludes their participating in group events, etc, etc, etc.
The perception that they wouldn't need family help has been a fantasy. A couple years ago, my husband and I moved from about 12 hours away so that I could be that person for my mother. Even though she lives in an "excellent" CCRC, I've had to cancel vacations and miss work-related travel. Luckily, I'm for the most part retired, though would still be working full time if I hadn't had to move, and my husband can work remotely.
In my mother's case, in hindsight, it would have been better (and probably more cost-efficient in the long run) to figure out how turn my parents' den into a ground floor bedroom with a full bath, move in with my mother, and obtain in-home care if/as needed.

On the other hand, yes, day-to-day care is okay, holidays are all celebrated with gusto, there are lots of activities for those so inclined and the environment is quite nice.
