When couples start exploring senior living options, priorities vary, but one thing many agree on is wanting a plan that supports both partners – now and in the future. That’s one of the many reasons Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs) – also called Life Plan Communities – stand out.
These communities offer the opportunity to move in and age in place, with a continuum of care available on campus if needs ever change. These communities offer a plan for whatever comes next while enjoying a vibrant lifestyle today.
What Is a CCRC?
A Continuing Care Retirement Community is a senior living option that offers residential living plus additional long-term care all in one location. But for most couples, the appeal isn’t just the care – it’s the active, social lifestyle and the confidence of knowing they’ve planned ahead.
If care is ever needed, there’s no need to move again, coordinate providers or make rushed decisions in the middle of a health change. You’ve already taken care of the logistics for the future by choosing to live at a Life Plan Community, so you can focus on enjoying life together now.
For Couples, One Move Means Shared Peace of Mind
One of the biggest advantages of a CCRC is that it’s designed for living together in your next chapter, even if care needs eventually change.
The Forum provides assisted living for one or both spouses with individualized care plans if needed. Care is available on the same campus, making it easier for couples to maintain a sense of togetherness even if they have different care needs.
Residential Living with a Plan in Place
For most couples who choose a CCRC, long-term care isn’t the current concern – but having a plan in place for care is.
By moving to a community like The Forum, couples gain:
- A thoughtfully designed residence
- Maintenance-free living
- Access to amenities and programs
- Social opportunities with peers
- And the reassurance that future care is available in the same community that their partner is in
It’s about simplifying your lifestyle today while protecting your tomorrow.
A Community That Grows With You
While many couples enjoy the comfort of moving in together, what truly sets a CCRC apart is the rich, built-in community surrounding them. At The Forum, residents can pursue shared hobbies or individual activities. They’ll meet new friends and can stay as engaged as they’d like – with everything from fitness classes and hikes in the Rancho San Antonio County Park to chef-prepared meals and social events right on campus.
Whether you spend your days side by side or follow your own interests, a CCRC gives both partners the space to grow and the support to stay connected.
