Is a Naturally Occurring Retirement Community Right for You?

Is anyone aware of the number of recognized NORCs across the country? I know they were first recognized about 1983; has anyone tracked their growth?
Thanks,
Bob

My husband and I live in a NORC area. We retired to the area and found many activites and new friends to keep us very busy.

As a developer of Active Adult Communities in Virginia I am very interested in finding out more about introducing this program to our communities.

How does one go about starting a NORC program in their community? I have lived in my development for over 33 years and many individuals are much older now and can't get access to certain services for various reasons and I and a group of concerned cooperators would love to assist in any way we can, so please give me some guidelines and parameters that are required to head up this organization.
Thank you,

I work in a Norc 5 days a week and I can tell you, it is a wonderful program that works! As a social worker I have seen firsthand how much my clients appreciate all the services that are provided. I am only sorry this program is not available in more states. Now is the time to be looking at how we can introduce this program into more communities!

I looked at this and think it is a lot of bs. just a way of people trying to grab tax dollors for themselves without out giving any real information or doing any real work. shame on you.
