Who looks after the interests of residents living in CCRCs? How about other residents? The Maryland Continuing Care Residents Association (MaCCRA) is the statewide group of CCRC residents formed into chapters. Right now, there are 17 chapters in Maryland CCRCs with many individual members in other communities. I am in the process of recruiting members to form a Charlestown chapter. Why is that important? The simple reason is that legislators and public officials need to hear our voices. MaCCRA is the only organization that is solely dedicated to protecting and advancing the interests of CCRC residents. Please check out the website and download a membership form if you are interested.
NaCCRA is the national association advocating for residents throughout the country. I got involved. I hope you do too.
