If you’re retired or starting to think about retirement, you may (wisely) be considering a move to a senior retirement community in order to save yourself the stress of moving later, when you’ll likely be less equipped to do so. If this is the case, you may be debating whether to join a 55+ community or a continuing care retirement community (CCRC). Here’s what each of these retirement community types offer their senior residents.
55+ communities cater exclusively to active seniors who don’t require personal or medical care. They do have some beneficial features, including:
CCRCs are designed for active seniors as well, but additionally those with increasing needs for personal or medical support. They offer one-stop shopping for all your current and future retirement needs, including the following:
Chapel Pointe is a faith-based CCRC which serves and enhances the quality of life for people aged 62+ in Central Pennsylvania. We’re honored that our greater community sees the servant-heart of our nonprofit organization and consistently selects Chapel Pointe as “The Best of Cumberland County.”
Nestled in eight beautifully landscaped acres in Carlisle, PA, our welcoming campus is filled with interesting places to explore and amenities that make life easy and enjoyable. Bird-watch from the gazebo, take a quiet moment in the chapel, curl up with a book in the library, join a friend for coffee in the sunroom, take the shuttle to town, or just pull up a comfortable chair for a chat.
Since the beginning, our team's mission has been to ensure that every resident is treated with love and the utmost respect. Experiencing our core values—trust, integrity, faith, service, and innovation—lived out every day at Chapel Pointe reassures seniors that they are making the right decision by welcoming us into their lives.
