Do any NaCCRA communities have an "Active Community" designation and if so what are the criteria for this designation?

Caroline Jacobs, MLCRA

To my knowledge there is no such designation, but some communities self-describe.

This is the first time I have heard this designation. In what context have you seen it used, if any?

“Active community” isn’t a formal regulatory category in senior living. It’s an informal marketing term used to suggest a vibrant, engaged lifestyle—much like “active adult” or “55+ community.” Regulations define levels of care, not lifestyle labels, so the term has no official meaning beyond how a provider uses it in promotion.
