Abstract

This study aimed to identify services and social and leasure programs that will be needed for helping senior residents to be aging healthfully and comfortably in the university-based continuing care retirement community (UBRC). This study conducted case study targeting three representative university-based CCRCs in the east area of United States such as Oak Hammock (OH) at Florida state, Kendal at Lexington (KL) and The Collonades (C) at Virginia state. There were three types of services in the UBRC, which were meal services, healthcare services, and personal services. Those services were different from the level of care such as independent living, assisted living, nursing home and memory care. Meal services and personal services were very similar among three UBRC, whereas healthcare services of OH were higher level of quality and diversity than the others. The social and leisure programs were categorized in-house programs, university outreach program and intergenerational programs between residents and students attending to related university. In-house programs and university outreach program were almost similar among three UBRC, whereas intergenerational programs of OH were well organized and actively operated than the others. This study results are expected to provides essential information for the development of Korean style services and programs of university-based CCRCs in the future.
