Abstract

This study aimed to develop Korean types of the university-based continuing care retirement community. CCRCs (Continuing care retirement communities), where senior residents are guaranteed to get continuous cares without moving out even under their deteriorating health condition, has been identified as the appropriate residences that can accommodate aging-in-place needs. Aging-in-place may be ideal for the increasing senior population and older households. Recently in the United States, as many retirees looked for intellectually and physically active environments that also offer intergenerational programs, university-based retirement communities (UBRCs) became popular and their number reached 60 campuses nationwide. This numbers is expected to grow significantly over the next two decades. We conducted case studies that targeted two representative UBRCs and identified four categories of main features. They were general characteristics, architectural features, services or programs, and management system. This study result highlighted key features of the UBRCs that can be the foundation for the future UBRCs development in Korea.
