Continuing Care Retirement Communities: Self-Insuring for Long-Term Care.
Branch, Laurence G.
Gerontologist, v27 n1 p4-8 Feb 1987
Considers impoverishment as a consequence of continuous institutionalization in a nursing home to be a public policy problem and the plight for any older Americans. Discusses one form of long-term care (LTC) insurance, the continuing care retirement community or life care community, and contrasts this small LTC self-insurance group with two other forms of LTC insurance.
