As our loved ones age, it becomes increasingly important to find them a living solution that values both their independence and their evolving health needs. Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs) offer a blend of independent living, assisted care, and skilled nursing. Join the Copeland Oaks experts below as we share the importance of CCRCs and why our facility could be the perfect solution for your aging loved ones.
What Is a CCRC?
A Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) is a campus where seniors benefit from various levels of care: independent living, assisted care, memory care living, and skilled nursing services. A senior can enter at any level of care and transition to other areas if their care needs increase. The CCRC model provides a comfortable progression through the stages of aging while ensuring that your loved one’s needs are met with dignity and comfort. It eliminates the need to locate a new assisted care facility when care needs progress, allowing for more time to be spent together and creating memories.
Among the many CCRCs available, Copeland Oaks distinguishes itself through our beautiful campus and personalized approach to senior living. By offering a range of amenities, tailored care options, and a vibrant community of fellow seniors, Copeland Oaks is an excellent example of why CCRCs are an appealing choice for both aging seniors and their families.
What Are the Benefits of Choosing a CCRC?
Choosing a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) offers a host of benefits that enhance the quality of life for seniors and provide peace of mind for their loved ones. The seamless continuum of care, social support, and healthcare assistance ensures residents receive appropriate care. Below we will dive deeper into the key advantages of having access to different assisted living levels of care and how it provides both security and a fulfilling living experience.
Continuum of Care
A CCRC offers a broad range of care, from independent living to assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing. As residents’ needs change over time, they can transition seamlessly through different levels of care without the stress and disruption of moving to a completely new facility. This continuity fosters a stable and supportive environment where residents can maintain relationships and a sense of independence, regardless of their changing health needs.
Social Benefits
CCRCs such as Copeland Oaks offer a wide selection of social activities, focusing on an active retirement. From promoting wellness through an aquatic and fitness center to planning day trips and other fun activities, there are always social opportunities for residents to enjoy together. Even as residents age and may not be able to participate as much, they can maintain their relationships as they stay on campus. Maintaining social engagement is known to be beneficial for aging adults, positively impacting both their emotional and physical health.
Maintenance Free Living
One of the major benefits of choosing a CCRC is leaving behind the hassles of home maintenance. Remove the burden of heavy labor tasks such as mowing the lawn or shoveling snow and take a break from the time-consuming work of repairing a home and its appliances. In an assisted care facility, seniors can enjoy their retirement without worrying about maintaining a home. Embrace the benefits of a CCRC, where both outdoor and indoor maintenance are managed by staff.
Healthcare Support
Because CCRCs offer a range of assisted living levels of care, residents receive the exact healthcare support they need. Whether a resident needs to advance from independent living to assisted living or memory care living, the CCRC’s team of experts will ensure their transition is smooth and their medical needs are met.
Peace of Mind
As seniors age, their loved ones are often plagued with worry, always wondering “What’s next?” A CCRC is a solution that provides peace of mind, as it ensures residents are always prepared for their next stage of aging. Spouses need not worry about being separated in a different assisted care facility, adult children can trust that their parents have all they need, and seniors can enjoy their golden years – no matter what comes next.
