Continuing Care Retirement Communities offer members the benefits of an independent living apartment within a vital and socially active community along with the covenant of Life Care and medical assistance if and when those services are needed.

As a full-service CCRC serving the Dallas/Fort Worth community, Ventana by Buckner will provide the full continuum of healthcare services including Assisted Living, Memory Care Services, Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation for those members whose circumstances require them.

CCRCs, like Ventana by Buckner, provide coverage for assisted living or skilled nursing care. In addition, ownership communities may not have a continuum of care that includes these higher levels of care conveniently available on the same campus as a CCRC would. Members (owners) are also responsible for the resale of their home in the ownership community and for payment of the monthly fee until their home is resold (even after they have moved out).

CCRCs are subject to more oversight and regulations than rental communities. And as a not for profit entity, at Ventana by Buckner, revenue after expenses are reinvested in the community, where they belong.

Another key difference in Texas is that your rights as a member of Ventana by Buckner are enforced by the state of Texas. The Texas Department of Insurance is charged with monitoring the financial solvency of these communities.
