“When prospective residents join us for one of our informational presentations, it’s always a pleasure for us to explain the advantages of living in a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC),” says Patty Clark, Director of Marketing.

“As a CCRC, University Retirement Community will offer a variety of accommodations, services, and activities geared toward helping residents maintain their independence and remain healthy and vital,” explains Patty. “They have the security of knowing that if their health care needs change over time, they’ll find the services and support they need right on campus.”

Patty says, “When you consider all the benefits a CCRC offers, you see the true value of living at University Retirement Community. For a complete description of our Continuing Care Program, I encourage people to call me
at 530-747-7001 or toll-free at 1-888-238-2058. I’ll be happy to help them learn more.”

Science Proves the Benefits of Living in a CCRC!
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 happy 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. Equally important, the study found that CCRC residents were more likely to report that their current health status was better than it had been in the previous two years, as compared to seniors who remained in their own homes.

The study was published by the American Seniors Housing Association: Study of Independent Living Residents and the Communities in Which They Reside. It was based on written surveys completed by 1,053 independent living residents and the staff of those 200 communities.
