Lately continuing care retirement communities (CCRC’s) are in the news. Confusing information abounds, and it can be worrisome for anyone who is in the process of choosing a CCRC, as well as for aging parents who already live in a community. In the last two months (August – September 2010) The New York Times and Wall Street Journal each published an article on the subject.

- Continuing-Care Retirement Communities: Weighing the Risks, Wall Street Journal
For a lot more helpful information on CCRC’s check out the Our Parents blog. Leigh Ann Otte has written two comprehensive posts highlighting the issues involved and linking to outside resources. Both also link to other informational posts on her blog. Check out the links below.
