I have always been surprised at how cities and town ignore this part of the economic pie. These communities provide a wide range of employment. Residents of CCRC's are said to have the highest level of disposable income of any senior group.
And...... It is really hard to shift the CCRC to India! Local Chambers wake up!

A balanced article. A couple of comments that could have been included: People who move into continuing care retirement communities almost unaminously love the lifestyle, and people live longer in continuing care retirement communities because of the services provided, support systems in place and the major overall reduction in personal stress.
