The Maryland Continuing Care Residents Association has a Chapter at Charlestown. MaCCRA is the only organization which is solely dedicated to protecting and advancing the interests of residents of continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs). We support, empower, and better the lives of residents in Maryland’s continuing care retirement communities through advocacy and education. Charlestown becomes the 18th chapter in Maryland. Membership is $20 per year for an individual and $30 for a couple. The membership year is July to July.

Want To Preserve Your Life Savings?
MaCCRA is helping to do that!
Beginning on 1/1/2023, a bill supported and promoted by MaCCRA will require senior facilities to increase their required reserves from 15% to 25% of their net operating expenses. This means these facilities, like Charlestown, must keep a ‘rainy day fund’ to be there in case of financial stress, such as the sale of a facility.
Help us continue the effort by joining our Charlestown Chapter of the Maryland Continuing Care Residents Association (MaCCRA).
Dues are $20 per individual and $30 per family of which 85% go to our voice in Annapolis, Barbara Brocato. She recently said legislators come to her asking. “What does MaCCRA want?”
MaCCRA Membership Drive begins in June.
