Why to consider a continuing care retirement community?
Thinking about the next chapter in life for yourself or a loved one? Consider a continuing care retirement community (CCRC). CCRCs allow you to enjoy life fully now—while knowing support is in place for tomorrow. From social connections to wellness programs, CCRCs have everything you need to help you thrive today and for years to come.
A continuing care retirement community, or CCRC, is where older adults can enjoy an active, maintenance-free lifestyle with less stress because they know care is available if and when it is needed. Residents typically start in Independent Living, with access to amenities, social opportunities and programs that make daily life engaging and rewarding. As needs change, they can seamlessly transition to assisted living, memory care or skilled nursing, within the same community. This “continuum of care” gives both residents and families peace of mind, knowing support is always close at hand.
Independent Living
Edgehill’s award-winning Independent Living neighborhood is the first step in the continuum of care: It is perfect for older adults who are active, independent and ready to leave behind the headaches of home maintenance. It is the lifestyle you enjoy now, but with much more. At Edgehill, that means linen service, gourmet restaurant-style dining, housekeeping, wellness programs, convenient transportation and 24-hour security. When we handle the details, you gain the freedom to spend your days doing what you love most.

Without home maintenance concerns, residents are free to spend their days participating in entertaining and enriching experiences, enjoying luxurious amenities, and focusing on what makes them happy. At Edgehill, we offer a full calendar of activities and programs that address residents’ well-being inside and out.
Assisted Living: Personal Assistance When You Need It
When you choose a CCRC, you gain peace of mind knowing that care is available if and when you need it. Next in the continuum is Assisted Living. Residents in Assisted Living can receive help from trained professionals with activities of daily living, including taking medications, bathing and dressing, while also enjoying a rich program of inspiring social and intellectual experiences.
At Type A CCRCs like Edgehill, Lifecare ensures you will always have the support you need at a more predictable cost. When you move to Assisted Living, you continue to enjoy the same services and amenities found in Independent Living.
In addition, everyone in Assisted Living has access to:
- 24/7 Nurse Availability
- Medication Management
- Help with Activities of Daily Living
- A personalized Approach to Programs & Activities
You can choose from either an elegantly appointed private apartment or, if you have a partner or friend you would like to live with, we have companion suites available.
