The Perils of Social Isolation in Retirement
Robert Willett of Raleigh, North Carolina based News & Observer, recently wrote an eye-opening article highlighting the work of researchers at the AARP Foundation who are citing social isolation as a key factor that can ultimately have dire consequences for retirees who live alone. Many lack an adequate support network, as well as the resources, ability, or will to get out of the house regularly. This is a reality that could impact millions of seniors in the coming decade and beyond.

Could a Rise in Popularity of CCRCs Impact Future Housing Market?
Well-known Yale economics professor and housing market analyst Robert Shiller published a fascinating article that appeared in the New York Times over the weekend titled, “Today’s Dream House May Not Be Tomorrow’s”. In the article Shiller highlights the idea that economic and demographic changes could have a dramatic impact on the future value of a home because they will dictate shifts towards new designs and types of communities, including continuing care retirement communities, or CCRCs.

More on long-term care insurance and CCRCs…
A few weeks ago I wrote a two part series titled “Understanding the Impact of Long-Term Care Insurance in CCRCs.” One particular point of focus was on those retirement communities that offer a type A contract, sometimes referred to as “full life care,” and whether or not there is a need for a resident of such a community to own private long-term care insurance. I shared the post with some of the groups I belong to on LinkedIn and received a couple of very good comments, which point to yet another reason why it could sense for prospective residents of full life care retirement communities to maintain coverage.
