[quote=Anonymous]My dad (who also had a nice pension) moved to a nonprofit CCC with monthly rent and was quite comfortable in his one-bedroom independent living apartment. When he needed AL services the last few months of his life, it was a godsend to keep him where he was and not have to uproot him. Their were also in-house medical services, which were also hugely helpful as he died in the winter and it had become too cold and difficult for him to go to outside doctor's appointments. By chance, his floor was a mixed one (IL and AL) so he didn't have to move within the building to an AL apartment. The services all came to him. I spent a lot of time with him at the community and got a feel for the place. I noticed that there were far fewer men than women, and the men tended to participate in very few of the offered activities compared to the women. You will find that most people in CCCs are in their 80s and moved in when they were already quite old. [/quote]
