  • Continuing Care at Home (CCaH)

    Continuing Care at Home (CCaH) programs continue to drive meaningful change and provide an option for what most active older adults want, to age in place. As Life Plan Communities (LPC) and Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRC) look to diversify their portfolios, CCaH program is a growing, profitable model and offers a new entry point into communities.

  • Exploratory Track

    A track for CCaH Exploration includes four 1-hour sessions specially targeted for individuals and/or organizations who are interested in having more in-depth information on how CCaH programs work and what’s involved in starting one. There will also be a pre-conference session/forum for those providers who want to ask specific questions about starting CCaH programs.
