What is a CCRC and are there any in Houston?
A Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing on a single campus. Houston has several including Holly Hall, Brazos Towers at Bayou Manor, and Buckingham Senior Living Community.
CCRCs solve a specific problem: many seniors don't want to move twice. A CCRC lets residents move in while still independent, then transition through higher levels of care without leaving their familiar campus and community. The trade-off is a typically larger upfront entrance fee ($150K-$700K depending on community) plus monthly fees. Houston CCRCs include Holly Hall (70+ years operating), Brazos Towers at Bayou Manor (faith-based), Buckingham Senior Living Community, and Eagle's Trace. Each has different fee structures (refundable, partially refundable, non-refundable entrance fees). For families willing to make the upfront commitment, the continuity advantage is substantial.
