Understanding ccrcs in Missouri
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 a Residential Care Facility or Assisted Living Facility and the skilled-nursing portion is DHSS-licensed under Chapter 198 RSMo, with CCRC contracts governed by Missouri insurance and consumer-contract law. A typical monthly range is $2,700 to $5,800 a month plus a significant entrance fee.
When you visit, look past the lobby and check these:
- 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
