What is a Continuing Care Community?
Confidence in Every Stage of Life—What is a Continuing Care Community?
Continuing Care Communities (CCC) like Sunny Vista are designed to provide peace of mind by removing future uncertainties. Our approach allows residents access to a full range of senior living options while remaining in a familiar, supportive environment as their needs change over time.
Unlike some communities that require long-term contracts, Sunny Vista offers flexible options without a lifelong commitment, giving residents and their families greater freedom and confidence.
Access to Care as Your Needs Change
As a part of Sunny Vista’s Continuing Care Community, you will have access to additional levels of care should you need them. Instead of facing the stress of relocating or making difficult decisions during challenging times, you can remain in a familiar, supportive environment, confident that the right level of care is close at hand.
This continuity is especially meaningful for couples. If one partner’s health needs change, both can remain near each other within the same community, avoiding the disruption of a move and preserving the comfort of being together.
At Sunny Vista, residents have the following options available to them regardless of their current level of care. Even those in independent living can transition to additional support when available, including:
Why Choose a Continuing Care Community?
While many older adults feel vibrant and independent, nearly 70% of people turning 65 will need some form of supportive care in their lifetime (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services). A continuing care community like Sunny Vista offers flexible support as needs change—without leaving the comfort of home.
Studies show that CCC residents experience higher overall wellness—emotionally, socially, physically, and intellectually compared to living in other settings. Living in a connected, engaging community can make a meaningful difference in quality of life. See how care might evolve at Sunny Vista.
