Brad Breeding of Carolina Continuing Care Consultants Quoted in Kiplinger Personal Finance

Aug. 20, 2010 - PRLog -- Raleigh, NC : With news of continuing care retirement communities (CCRC’s) on the pages of the Wall Street Journal and the Senate's Special Committee on Aging report out, retirees are fortunate to have Brad Breeding of Carolina Continuing Care Consultants in Garner available to do the investigation needed to find the best facility to meet their needs.

U.S. Senator Herb Kohl, Chairman of the Special Committee on Aging, held a hearing July 21, 2010 on continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs), which provide separate housing for seniors who are able to live independently, who require help in an assisted living facility, and who require more intensive care in a nursing home. Based on an investigative report ( http://aging.senate.gov/record.cfm?id=326568 ) released at the meeting Kohl felt that evaluating the merits of a CCRC and judging the risk involved with this type of investment is extremely challenging for an individual consumer without professional assistance.

In the September, 2010 article, “On Sale: Retirement Havens” by Jane Bennett Clark, Senior Associate Editor of Kiplinger Personal Finance quotes continuing care professional Brad Breeding on the importance of the right fit when it comes to choosing a CCRC.

The article states: “Finding a community that appeals to you is key to the process. It's about where you want to be -- the location, the type of place, the feel you get.” Still, don't let a nice dining room or a nearby shopping mall distract you from the care giving component. “If you have Alzheimer's in the family, for instance, you want to make sure it has a good Alzheimer's unit,” says Breeding. “Some CCRCs contract with assisted-living or nursing-care units to deliver care off-campus. Better to investigate those arrangements now than find out later that you have to leave the community to receive care.”

Breeding, the president of Carolina Continuing Care Consultants and Certified Financial Planner™ professional stated, “Our mission is to provide clarity and peace of mind for retirees who are interested in moving to a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) in the Triangle area of North Carolina.”

Vice-President Trent Pierce added, “We represent the consumer side of the retirement community industry, particularly the CCRCs. We are totally objective in what we do because we represent our clients not the communities. Hundreds of hours of continuing independent research on the various communities available and over 25 years of experience helping people plan for the future makes us unique in the industry.
