What ccrcs includes in North Carolina
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 portion is licensed as an Adult Care Home by DHSR (10A NCAC 13F), and the skilled-nursing portion is DHSR-licensed under 10A NCAC 13D — one division for both — with CCRC contracts registered with and overseen by the NC Department of Insurance. A typical monthly range is $2,800 to $5,800 a month plus a significant entrance fee.
Here's what separates a strong community from a weak one:
- the entrance-fee refund terms in the contract
- the financial health of the operator and its reserves
- guaranteed access to higher levels of care and at what price
