CCRC Quiz 

1. True or False: A CCRC is for people who need daily medical care.
   False. Most people move to a CCRC while they’re healthy and independent, not because they need care right away.
2. True or False: “CCRC” and “Life Plan Community” are two names for the same product.
   True. These names are both acceptable to describe a community that has a continuum of support, should you ever need it.
3. True or False: CCRCs are only for people over the age of 75.
   False. Most CCRCs have a minimum age of 62. Many find that moving earlier gives you more choices, more time to enjoy the lifestyle, and more long-term value.
4. True or False: CCRCs follow a strict, linear path of care from independent living to skilled nursing.
   False. Support adjusts to your needs and can change over time, without forcing unnecessary moves. For example: if rehabilitation is needed after an unexpected hospitalization, you can return to your same apartment after completing recovery.
5. True or False: Acacia Creek on the Masonic Homes campus is a CCRC.
   True. Residents of Acacia Creek have access to a full continuum of support without leaving campus.
6. BONUS QUESTION: What percentage of adults over the age of 65 will require some form of long-term care support during their lifetime?
   Nearly 70% of Americans aged 65 and older will require some form of long-term care during their lifetime, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The truth is that planning ahead dramatically reduces uncertainty and cost for these services in the future.
