Continuing Care Retirement Communities with Assisted Living-Nursing Centers in Nebraska
A CCRC is housing community that provides different levels of care
based on what each resident needs over time. This is sometimes called
"life care" or "continuing care" and can range from
independent living in an senior apartment to assisted living facilities
to full-time care in a skilled nursing home. Residents move from one
setting to another based on their individual needs but continue to live
as part of the community. Care in CCRC's is usually expensive. Traditionally,
CCRCs require a large payment before you move in and charge monthly
fees but that is changing. Check with the community for more information.

Assisted living should not be considered as an alternative to a nursing home. The difference between the two is that Assisted Living Facilities or Assisted Living Centers provide a more appropriate way to enhance an individual's life by helping them overcome the daily living limitations. These limitations could include minor physical disabilities, confusion or memory problems that may be hard to for a person to deal with alone.
In some Assisted Living cases, people may have only slight health considerations. However, Assisted Living Facilities typically have additional programs available to accommodate more extensive needs. Assisted Living exists in varying degrees for the purpose of tailoring required services for each person's situation.
The size of Assisted Living Facilities range from small, with as few as five or six residents, to large, full-service apartment complexes. In either case, most residents have the option of eating in a central cafeteria or preparing meals in their own apartment. Residents are also usually encouraged to socialize through meals and regularly scheduled activities.
