摘要：

The selection of a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) in which to live is not a matter of flipping a coin. It involves serious and time-consuming investigation. For most people, it is a daunting task. Elderly people who decide on a CCRC for their living arrangement need to follow a selection process to arrive at the appropriate choice-the choice that best meets their particular needs and provides quality of life. This personal account gives insight into one person's experience with the process. Nurses who are knowledgeable about the types of CCRCs available are in a position to help their patients make more informed choices.
