The continuing care retirement community (CCRC) has its theoretical roots in the ecological model as it pertains to the congruence between the older person and the environment. The CCRC is designed with several levels of care, allowing residents to live independently when healthy and to move to more supportive housing when their health declines. The design of CCRCs should avoid much of the stress associated with moving because different levels of environmental support and health care are available within the same community. Residents do not have to learn a new neighborhood, and social support networks need not be disrupted. In this sense, the CCRC functions as a social intervention to address the housing, social, and health care needs of older persons. Yet, this intervention may not produce the intended effects and may produce unanticipated negative side effects.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The continuing care retirement community (CCRC) has its theoretical roots in the ecological model as it pertains to the congruence between the older person and the environment. The CCRC is designed with several levels of care, allowing residents to live independently when healthy and to move to more supportive housing when their health declines. The design of CCRCs should avoid much of the stress associated with moving because different levels of environmental support and health care are available within the same community. Residents do not have to learn a new neighborhood, and social support networks need not be disrupted. In this sense, the CCRC functions as a social intervention to address the housing, social, and health care needs of older persons. Yet, this intervention may not produce the intended effects and may produce unanticipated negative side effects.
520 $a One hundred and two residents and nine key staff members in one CCRC in Southern California were interviewed. Additionally, behavioral observations and other methods were used to gather information about residents' social networks and interaction patterns, their psychological health, their perceptions of moving to different levels of care, and their perceptions of the residents and the living environments of the different levels of care.
520 $a Results suggest that residents may perceive the move to another level of care as stressful. In addition, social ties may be broken after residents change levels of care. Few social interactions took place between residents from different levels of care (interlevel interactions). Interlevel interactions that did occur were likely to be non-reciprocal in nature and to be sources of negative social exchanges. Additionally, participants with more interlevel interactions reported poorer psychological health than participants with fewer interlevel interactions. Participants had negative perceptions of the residents and the physical environments of the dependent levels of care. Possible explanations are offered for the participants' perceptions, for their social interaction patterns, and for the associations between interlevel interactions and poorer psychological health. Additionally, implications for ecological theory and strategies to ameliorate possible negative consequences of CCRCs are offered.
