Forums

This Forum is for sharing general information about CCRCs/LifePlan communities. Membership in NaCCRA allows you to read, post and reply to threads. We hope you will join us as a member. Just go to the Member Signup link at the top right of any page.

Discuss how your CCRC/LifePlan community engages with your Board of Directors and senior management. For example, does your community have residents on your Board? If so how many? Do they have a vote? How are they selected?

In addition to Independent Living (IL), most CCRCs have Assisted Living (AL) and Skilled Nursing (SN) facilities on the same site and are included in their Continuing Care contract. However, there is no standard and very little regulation or oversight except for skilled nursing. Post your thoughts and comment about Assisted Living and Skilled Nursing in this forum.

Why has the growth rate of non-profit CCRC Life Plan communities been flat from 2010 to 2019? NaCCRA has a 36-page paper on this subject. (See our Store or Document Library) Please post your comments on this paper here in this Forum.

This Forum is to share experiences related to state legislatures and to determine how many states have Independent Living Ombudsmans and other CCRC regulations. How did these states get legislation passed that provides CCRC residents with increased protections and a greater role in the governance of their communities? For the states that have ombudsmen, how well is the program working?

This is the Forum to discuss and ask questions about the different contract types and their provisions.

This is the place to talk about community living including pets, programs, and activities that enhance life.

We are not aware of any source that reveals which states require at least one resident to be on the Governing Board of CCRCs in their State. Comment in this forum on your state's position on resident Board membership. If your community has residents on your governing Board, how many are on the Board? Do they have a vote? Can any resident observe the Board meetings?
