Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Public Policy
  • Healthcare Administration

Background:

  • Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs) offer a long-term care alternative.
  • Regulation of CCRCs varies by state.
  • Effective oversight is crucial for consumer protection and CCRC viability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To survey oversight staff in states with CCRC legislation regarding their implementation experiences.
  • To identify challenges and attitudes related to CCRC regulation.
  • To inform improvements in CCRC oversight and policy.

Main Methods:

  • A questionnaire was distributed to oversight staff in 30 states with CCRC legislation.
  • Data was collected from 23 states on regulatory scope, oversight placement, resources, agency authority, and proposed legal changes.
