Support Studies – Proof that CCRC Living is Beneficial

  1. A scientific study conducted between 2002 and 2003 by Dr. Margaret A. Wylde’s ProMatura Group found that seniors who live in CCRCs are more satisfied with daily lives and are more likely to be happier and healthier than their contemporaries who remain in their own homes. It also found that the social and recreational programs offered at CCRCs provided seniors with many opportunities to meet new friends. The study was published by the American Seniors Housing Association: Study of Independent Living Residents and the Communities in Which They Reside.
  1. The Office of Disability, Aging, and Long-Term Care for the US Department of Health and Human Services released a research analysis paper that found that residents who live in CCRCs are healthier and live longer than people who do not live in CCRCs. Their analysis also found that CCRC residents have less risk of disease and disability.

Their research specifically noted that CCRCs:

    • Promote active lifestyles
    • Support social involvement
    • Ensure proper medical care
    • Provide good nutrition
    • Encourage overall wellness
    • Are good for younger seniors
