Behind the Promise: Understanding the Financial Risks of CCRCs (LifePlan Communities)

CCRCs, also known as LifePlan communities, promise stability, simplicity, and lifelong care—but those promises only hold if the underlying financial structure holds. This session uses the Harborside CCRC bankruptcy as a lens to help retirees and families plan with clearer eyes and fewer illusions.

What you’ll learn:

• How CCRCs actually function as financial entities, including where risk lives, how entrance fees are used, and why nonprofit status doesn’t mean risk-free

• What retirees should do to plan ahead, protect flexibility, and avoid over-concentrating housing, healthcare, and capital risk in one decision

• How to evaluate and stress-test a CCRC before committing, using balance-sheet thinking instead of marketing language

• What the Harborside CCRC bankruptcy really signals—separating headline fear from practical lessons for both current and prospective residents
