There are so many misconceptions about moving to a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) that RWC staff addressed these common myths to help you put your mind at ease.
Myth: If I move into a retirement community, my health will decline, and I won’t live long.
Truth: RWC isn’t what you may think of as a “retirement home” for the elderly—it’s far from that! It’s not a place you come to fade away; it’s where you come to truly live. At RWC, older adults embrace an active, fulfilling lifestyle with resort-style amenities and the peace of mind that comes with knowing their future care is covered. It’s a vibrant community where friendships blossom, and residents and staff feel more like family. Forget the image of small, dimly lit hospital rooms—RWC offers bright, beautiful housing options, from stylish apartments to cozy cottages and spacious single-family homes. It’s not just a community—it’s a way of life!
Myth: Retirement communities are for old people and I’m not ready to move to an “old folks’ home.”
Truth: At RWC, think less “old folks’ home” and more “vibrant living hub.” It’s not a place to just sit and wait for something to happen; it’s where you stay active, enjoy top-notch amenities, and find a community that feels like family. Forget dark, dreary hospital vibes; at RWC, you’ll find bright, inviting spaces with options from chic apartments to charming cottages and spacious single-family homes.
Myth: Long-term care policies cost a fortune and may be something I never need.
Truth: With flexible contract options, including fee-for-service and life care, you can tailor your coverage to fit your needs. And don’t worry about losing control of your finances—residents manage their own assets. The entry fees might sound high, but they vary widely and cover future healthcare needs, with some even refundable. RWC is more than a place to live; it’s a lively community where you can truly thrive.
