Non-profit Continuing Care Retirement Center CEOs: Who Are They and What Do They Do

The present study examines the background, nature of work, and skills necessary for the successful management of continuing care retirement communities in the United States. Results from a survey of not-for-profit continuing care retirement communities’ chief executive officers are given and compared to the last similar survey given 30 years prior. We discuss implications of these findings and provide recruitment strategies which may be of interest to scholars, practitioners, residents, and policy makers.
