If a "Life Care" CCRC is your target, don't forget that most properties will require you to be in reasonably good health mentally and physically before allowing you to enter. After-all, they are agreeing to give you care for the rest of your life. Both of us had to pass a comprehensive physical and cognition assessment prior to our admission at out CCRC.
Timing to enter a life care property is to me is one of the most difficult decisions to make in this option. Early is probably better than later since you wont get in if you are too late. Early also has the benefit of being able to enjoy the benefits while healthy (increasing your return on your entry fee) but then again you may no longer care when you are dead.
Do they require looking over your finances and basing the entry fee on that?
