Understanding ccrcs in Florida
A Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) spans independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing on one campus, so a resident can age in place as needs change.
The assisted living and skilled nursing portions are AHCA-licensed (FS Ch. 429 and Ch. 400), and CCRC contracts are regulated separately by the state. A typical monthly range is $3,000 to $6,500 a month plus a significant entrance fee.
Here's what separates a strong community from a weak one:
- the entrance-fee refund terms (Type A, B, or C contract)
- the financial health of the operator and its reserves
- guaranteed access to higher levels of care and at what price
