Volunteerism and community building in continuing care retirement communities.
In summary, CCRCs are arenas in which four types of natural helping and volunteerism occur. The CCRC may, therefore, be a microcosm of a community system, serving multiple functions in a campus setting. Volunteer program coordinators can benefit from the experiences of others, and research into helping patterns and the process of community building may provide insight as new CCRCs develop.
