Anyone reading this thread who is interested in knowing the details about what is available for care in the area might want to spend some time navigating the Medicare.gov site. That site gives a relatively in-depth report of the current state of things. (I posted about how to use this tool in post #53 in the second paragraph.)

The Medicare site rates only the healthcare part of the facilities, but it gives some overall details if the nursing part is part of a CCRC. For instance, Freedom Pointe is a for-profit LLC not a non-profit like some CCRCs are.

The reports, of course, can change from inspection to inspection, but by looking into what you could need before you need it, you will at least begin to know more, in case the time comes.
