What ccrcs includes in Michigan
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 Home for the Aged or Adult Foster Care and the skilled-nursing portion is LARA-licensed under the Public Health Code (1978 PA 368, Parts 213/217 and the Adult Foster Care Facility Licensing Act), with CCRC contracts governed by Michigan insurance and consumer-contract law. A typical monthly range is $3,000 to $6,500 a month plus a significant entrance fee.
The details that matter most rarely show up in the brochure:
- 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
