Aging at Home vs. Choosing a CCRC: Who’s Winning the Battle for Senior Living?

This episode explores the debate between aging at home and choosing a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC). The financial implications of selling a home, particularly in states with high capital gains taxes, can make staying at home more appealing. However, CCRCs offer benefits such as safety, socialization, and support systems that can enhance quality of life. CCRCs provide a sense of community and connection, engagement and activity, support systems, independence within the community, intergenerational interaction, and a sense of belonging. To win over more seniors, CCRCs must craft a compelling narrative that emphasizes these advantages and addresses emotional and practical concerns.

Understanding the Importance of Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) in Senior Living

Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) is the total impact, both financial and communal, a resident has throughout their stay in a senior living community. CLV varies across different types of senior living communities, such as independent living, assisted living, memory care, and CCRCs. Independent living residents have a lower turnover rate and a longer average stay, resulting in a CLV range of $180K to $480K. Assisted living residents have a shorter length of stay but higher fees, with a CLV range of $84K to $252K. Memory care residents require specialized care, leading to a CLV range of $85K to $242K. CCRCs offer a full spectrum of care and have the highest CLV, averaging over $500K...

Over the past year, I’ve had the joy of working closely with Tara Crellin and the CCRG team. Tara has been nothing short of outstanding, she’s thoughtful, responsive, and has been an integral part of our success as a community. If CCR Growth continues to employ people of her caliber, I can wholeheartedly recommend partnering with them in any capacity. Cynthia our main blog writer is also an absolute talent and gem of a person to work with.
