CCRC (Continuing Care Retirement Community)
Michael R. Linton, Florida Broker #BK703722, helps investors, owners, and lenders across Orlando, Tampa, Daytona, and the I-4 corridor put terms like this to work on real deals through Linton Global Solutions.
A continuing care retirement community (CCRC), also called a life plan community, provides a range of senior housing and care levels, typically independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing, on one campus, often under a long-term contract with an entrance fee.
For investors, CCRCs combine real estate, health care operations, and contract obligations to residents.
Florida Regulation
In Florida, providers of continuing care contracts are regulated under Chapter 651, Florida Statutes, administered by the Office of Insurance Regulation, which addresses matters such as financial requirements and resident protections.
Investment Considerations
Value depends heavily on operator quality, occupancy, entrance-fee structures and refund obligations, and regulatory compliance. Due diligence goes well beyond the buildings.
A Hypothetical Example
A buyer evaluating a Central Florida CCRC reviews resident contracts, refund liabilities, and regulatory filings alongside the physical plant. Hypothetical scenario; not legal advice.
From the Desk
With a CCRC you are buying an operating business with promises to residents. Underwrite the contracts before the buildings.
