What is a Continuing Care Retirement Community?

A continuing care retirement community, or CCRC, is a development that offers a range, or continuum, of housing and associated healthcare (as well as recreation amenities and social activities). Nearly all CCRCs charge an entrance fee, which is often quite hefty (and usually from the sale of a resident's current home). As they age, in exchange for the entrance fee and monthly fees, residents are guaranteed housing, social recreation and health care all in one place. Independent apartments or cottages are usually in one section of the development. Assisted living and nursing home facilities are in different sections in the same development. This gives residents peace of mind knowing that they will be able to stay in the same community and receive increased healthcare services down the road. One thing to keep in mind is that most CCRCs require that incoming residents be in good physical and mental shape.

Frugal Retirement Living - Have You Considered a Park Model Mobile Home, continued....

The answer is yes! For example, in Mesa Arizona there are many of these communities to choose from. Some have around a hundred units and some are communities of more than 2,000 units complete with their own golf course.

The range of activities available is mind boggling. If you can't find a group or club for your interest, you are not looking very hard.   If you imagine the activity, then you can find like minded souls with whom you can enjoy your particular passion.

Want to make improvements to your unit and you are a little handy?   Most parks have fully equipped woodshops that are available for making whatever you can dream up, and helpful club members who have seen it all are willing to help the newbies.

The term park model mobile homes is somewhat misleading as these units are most normally mobile only one time in their lives, moving from the factory to park model community.   For sure you have been behind one in transit when you are in a hurry. It never fails!

So if the recession has got you down and thinking you can't retire now, think again. Park model mobile homes offer a fun and cheap way for frugal retirement living. See, you can make lemonade from lemons.
