One of the questions we get asked again and again by seniors who are considering a move to a continuing care retirement community (CCRC, also referred to as a life plan community) is whether or not they can use their long-term care insurance (LTCi) policy to pay all or a portion of their monthly CCRC fee. In this short video blog, we discuss the three key things to understand about using an LTCi policy to pay for your care at a CCRC. https://hubs.la/Q02TSfZ80 . . #longtermcare #LTCI #longtermcareinsurance #costofcare #payingforcare #retirementsavings #retirement #retirementcommunity #lifeplancommunity #CCRC #seniorliving #55plus #55pluscommunity #retirementsavings

Recent research underscores how older adults' quality of life can be heavily impacted by certain choices they make about senior living. In this week's blog post, we dig into the link between a person's living situation and their quality of life, and more specifically, those who live with their adult children (either by choice or by circumstance). We also look at those who want to “age in place” — as it is sometimes called — and why proactive planning should begin early, preferably during midlife. https://hubs.la/Q02TpCGx0 . . #seniorliving #retirement #retirementplanning #retirementcommunity #lifeplancommunity #CCRC #aging #ageinplace #aginginplace #independentliving #caregiving #familycaregiving #costofcare #unpaidcare #unpaidcaregiving #paidcare #caregiver #agingparents #qualityoflife #assistedliving #memorycare #nursinghome #healthyaging

“Healthy aging” is a hot topic these days, driven in part by the baby boomers — people who often pride themselves on being active and forever young — continuing to reach retirement age.

In this week's blog post, we delve into the research findings as well as how the senior living industry can and should ensure they are supporting residents' healthy aging goals. https://hubs.la/Q02SySBj0 . . #seniorliving #seniorlivingindustry #retirement #retirementcommunity #retirementplanning #retirementsavings #costofcare #healthyaging #seniorhealth #55plus #55pluscommunity #independentliving #CCRC #lifeplancommunity #assistedliving #caregiving #caregiver #positiveaging
