A CCRC is a Continuing Care Retirement Community. We happen to be in Florida, but they are all over the country. We live in an Independent Living Apartment, but many CCRCs do have homes. We chose the apartment because of the freedom. The cool thing is we are totally independent. I had shoulder surgery 2 years ago - I was able to walk to PT and saw my PT manager often around the campus.

My friend just had a back issue. When she was discharged from the hospital, she could not even walk! She went to our Skilled Nursing facility which is attached to our building. We were all able to see her, she was able to get things from her apartment and had the same food from our restaurant. She is now back at home. We also have Assisted Living and Memory care on campus.

My husband volunteers to powerwash from time to time, that scratches his maintenance itch! LOL!
