Understanding ccrcs in Texas
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 and skilled nursing portions are HHSC-licensed (Texas Health & Safety Code Chapter 247 and Chapter 242), and CCRC contracts are regulated by the Texas Department of Insurance. A typical monthly range is $3,200 to $6,800 a month plus a significant entrance fee.
Before you tour, know what actually predicts quality:
- the entrance-fee refund terms (Type A, B, or C contract)
- the financial health of the operator and its reserves
- guaranteed access to higher levels of care and at what price
