how to use the guide Taking the First Steps to Researching Your Alternatives There are many different options available for today’s seniors. Sometimes, seniors and family members opt to take care of themselves with a strong family network; however, often in today’s day and age that is not feasible. When you think you need to seek care outside of the family, there are a few things to consider. Description of Alternatives First, learn as much as you can about different types of senior communities. With so many housing and service options available, it is important to take the time to fully understand your personal needs and preferences so you can select the right option for you or your loved one.

ContinuingCareCommunities Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRC), also known as Life Care Communities, are residential campuses that provide a continuum of care - from apartments/homes to assisted living and if needed, skilled nursing care, all in one location. CCRC communities range in entrance fees/rates and available services. SeniorApartments Senior apartments are independent apartments that are age restricted - starting at 55 or 62 years of age. Some senior apartment communities may have an on-site meal program (generally no more than one meal per day) and housekeeping services available at a separate cost. There are federal and state programs that help pay for this level of housing for seniors with low to moderate income. Rent payments are usually a percentage of income or a pre-adjusted low income rate for those that qualify. Many of these communities include amenities such as a club house/meeting room, library, laundry facilities, beauty/barber shop, transportation, fitness center, etc. Some may also offer a Service Coordinator to assist in procuring additional services. Other types of Active Senior Communities exist, including single family homes, condominiums or mobile homes. continuedonnextpage d escription of alternatives 2015 /2016 Check AlternativesforSeniors.com for newlyadded listings. 9 A Variety of Alternatives for A Variety of Senior Needs Please say “We Found You in Alternatives for Seniors ” , Fall 2022 / Winter 2023 5
