CCRCs: what you're actually buying
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 EOEA-certified as an ALR and the skilled-nursing portion is DPH-licensed under M.G.L. Chapter 111, Section 71, with CCRC contracts governed by Massachusetts insurance and consumer-contract law. A typical monthly range is $4,200 to $9,000 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
Ways to pay in Revere
Most families stack several funding sources instead of leaning on one. Personal savings and Social Security typically go first, with long-term-care insurance next when a policy is already in place. Wartime veterans and surviving spouses should check VA Aid & Attendance through the VA Boston Healthcare System. And the MassHealth Frail Elder Waiver (with Senior Care Options for dual-eligible seniors 65 and older) can cover care services — though not ALR room and board — for seniors who meet the functional and financial tests, after a nursing-facility level-of-care assessment. Revere pricing runs comparatively lower, still above the national average.
