Continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs), with the expected increase in residency due to the fact that people are living longer, face a unique set of challenges and issues as they strive to provide a comfortable living situation for elders, some of whom can no longer care for themselves in any capacity.
Some facilities, faced with low employee retention, have a hard time remaining fully staffed. This increases the likelihood of accidents because staff may become stressed and exhausted due to being overworked.
