Summary

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.
