title: Lessons from the implementation of CCRC regulation.
abstract: Oversight staff in 23 of the 30 states with legislation regulating continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs) completed a questionnaire surveying features of implementation experience such as problems encountered with the scope of regulation, the appropriateness of oversight placement, the adequacy of staff and financial resources, the use of discretionary agency authority, and attitudes toward various changes in applicable state law. These findings have relevance for consumers, legislators, lobbyists, and professionals working to make CCRCs a responsible long-term care alternative.
