CCRCs: what you're really paying for
A Continuing Care Retirement Community spans independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing on one campus, so a resident can move between levels of care without changing addresses.
In Maryland, this level of care is regulated under an Assisted Living Program license under COMAR 10.07.14, rated Level 1, 2, or 3 according to how much hands-on care the program is approved to provide, overseen by the Maryland Office of Health Care Quality (OHCQ). A typical monthly range is $4,500 to $8,500 a month plus a substantial entrance fee.
The details that matter most rarely make it into the brochure:
- the entrance-fee refund terms (Type A, B, or C contract)
- the operator's financial health and reserve ratio
- guaranteed access to higher levels of care, and at what price
