I suspect right now the real issues — whether in a CCRC or at home — are the affordability and quality of care. I’ve noticed that the CCRC I think is probably best in my area is continually advertising for workers — even on bus wraps. I wonder how much they have to pay to attract workers as entry level wages continue to rise and whether they can compete against many other employers. And while the state prioritized the Covid vaccine for health care workers, an huge percent refused the shots.
I’m amazed no one has mentioned easy access to quality healthcare. The mountains, beach, golf, even low taxes are “nice to haves.” Being close to excellent medical is ultimately essential for all retirees.
